So somehow I can't change my display name. When I go to settings I can change the value, but when I click save and refresh, the old value is still there. I have this problem for a few weeks already, so I don't think I'm just too impatient. It seems to be similar for other settings like 2FA, but it'd especially annoying for the name, bc I now can't set my chosen name. Does anyone else have a similar problem? Do you know a workaround? Can I help fixing the problem?

Ok so apparently it didn't like my emojis. I was able to change it to Timber, but not Timber 🏳️‍⚧️

there's a 25 char limit or something like that. if you exceed that it won't work.
