The heck? I didn't get it at first, but I looked at this in a Lemmy instance and the OP name is different? On kbin, OP is xtremeownage. But on the original instance, their username somehow shows up as HTTP_404_NotFound, but still links as xtremeownage.
Does Lemmy have some sorta different display name vs username thing?
Their actual username is xtremeownage, which is why it still links that way, but lemmy lets users set a display name that's different from their username (in this case, HTTP_404_NotFound). Sounds like kbin doesn't respect lemmy display name settings.
