Yes, when you open the homepage of your instance in a browser and scroll to the bottom, it should say something like “BE: 0.18.4”.
If it says that and you still get this bug, it’s a new one.

Which Jerboa and Instance backend versions are you seeing this with? There was an issue in the backend that could produce this behavior but should be fixed in 0.18.4: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3823
Which front end would show both names? On (mobile and desktop) web and in Jerboa I only see the display name if it’s set. And the only limitation seems to be that a leading @ is not allowed.
Tbh I think the display names as they currently work are dangerous. What would prevent me from setting my display name to nutomic@lemmy.ml
? Most front-ends would not show that I’m actually not you at first glance.
Edit: Misread the question as being about display names. Full unicode support for usernames would be even more dangerous, basically opening the door to unicode homograph spoofing on that level too.
Yes, that’s what this check (and the later introduced changes) are meant for. On the reasoning why this configuration is not desired I can’t comment.
The check giving this error is pretty old, so it seems that you got it to work was not intentional: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blame/63d3759c481ff2d7594d391ae86e881e2aeca56d/crates/api_common/src/utils.rs#L539
As far as I can see, 0.18 and its release candidates only added additional checks preventing such an instance to be set up in the first place.
I’m not sure what exactly you’re asking, but I’ll assume it’s not the standard “I can’t find this remote community” question, as your fourth search result is from the exact community you’re searching for… and has a direct clickable link to the community as federated to your instance (in green).
If you want a direct link as a search result to the community, search for it’s URL on its home instance, e.g. here https://lemmy.ml/c/lemmy_support
You can get this via the link under the community header on the left, where it says “Lemmy Support” and underneath has the hyperlink “!lemmy_support@lemmy.ml”. Click that link or copy its URL.
I was thinking of something like that too, but probably never would’ve gotten around to implement it myself, so thanks! Could you put your script on Github or something maybe?
Also it would be great if it could copy at least top-level comments by OP, because that’s often used for linking to a source.
Via the “three horizontal exclamation marks” button on the bottom action bar you can search globally for communities, not only ones you’ve subscribed, if that’s what you mean.
If you mean full text search, idk if Lemmy even has that.
You can collapse threads with a long press on the comment header (the line with the username, score and timestamp).
The app could definitely use some documentation.
Then ask your instance admin to update to 0.18.4. I don’t see this bug using the same Jerboa version on my home instance, which has already updated.
