The actor_name_max_length^[https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/8d269fc08ee0efb03c20f97b4c1075881046490d/crates/api_common/src/site.rs#L260] in the site settings has been set to 30. This can be verified by checking here: https://vegantheoryclub.org/api/v3/site

Basically this means that people can now set display names of up to 30 characters long. Before it was set to 20, which meant that things like adding pronouns to the display name would often hit the character limit and would prevent you from editing your name.

This also applies to Site, and Community,^[https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/crates/db_schema/src/source/activity.rs#L86] but that's probably not too important to mention, as community names have been fine with the limit.

Special thanks to @hamid@vegantheoryclub.org for changing these values and following my poorly explained tutorial on how to edit the site settings.

Also TIL, powershell aliases curl despite it existing as a command in Windows already.^[https://stackoverflow.com/a/66840040]
