Using lemmy.zip here.

I went through the web browser to change my display name. I made sure to click “save” as well. But it is still showing “Aedaz_” here on the app as well as the web browser.

Am I missing something?

As mistermodal says, your display name has changed on lemmy.zip. However it doesn't show here on lemmy.ml. That's to be expected, display name changes do not federate instantly. It can take multiple hours.

Ah ok. Thanks.

I understand it takes a while to federate, but do they federate for all instances?

Most likely.

I appreciate it.
