Full addresses of communities are using display names instead of real names (lemm.ee)

Noticed that 196@lemmy.world (display name 195) shows up as 195@lemmy.world when searching communities and viewing posts in the community. I think this behaviour is prone to cause confusion. There should be a clear distinction between display names and addresses and display names should not be used in addresses.

hmmm... i think that may be a local setting (per instance) because for me (on lemmy.ml) I see real names in those contexts if they're not local.
