Firstly, thanks a bunch for accommodating my [request for writing.exchange access](https://discuss.write.as/t/access-to-writing-exchange-for-paying-users/7765) 🙏

I finally got around to setting it up today. As I was perusing some posts, I noticed something off about my username:

What’s going on here? This is in the official iOS app. The web interface seems fine: [Erlend (@erlend@writing.exchange) - Writing Exchange](https://writing.exchange/@erlend)

Yeah especially since it looks fine on the web, I’d say this is a bug with the Mastodon iOS app. Very odd, but I doubt there’s anything I can do on our end. Might want to report this bug to them.
