@sorenpeter @bender @prologic Right. Also, generally speaking, if you come across a new feed URL, it's probably either via some mention in another feed or the User-Agent in your access log. Both cases typically advertise also a display name. So, you just reuse whatever you've seen there.
@sorenpeter I think the use of ~ is so commonly used as a <username> that we should just suppose that out of the box by all clients for display purposes.

@soren you reach out and tell them to set a nick? Or parse the URL, and use the word right after the tilde as the nick?

I saw a paraglider after sunset. Must have been super cold up there in the sky, we just had 1-2°C on the ground. And I passed a heron at just 5-6 meters distance. I think that's a new record low. The sunset itself wasn't all that shabby either. Hence, a very good stroll.

You are right: no advantage. Also your method can make backward compatible to feeds which doesn't implement metadata extension
@sorenpeter No I agree. I think if the feed doesn't hint at a nick, just default to displaying the bare domain. These sorts of things btw need to go into a Client recommendations / guidelines. If someone wants to start drafting up such I doc I will fully support this and help shape it 👌

What should the advantage be to nick = _compared to just not defining a nick and let the client use the domain as the handle?

What is not intuitive is that you put something in the nick field that is not to be taken literary. The special meaning of _ is only clean if you read the documentation, compared to having something in nick that makes sense in the current context of the twtxt.txt.

No, i mean just _. If my nick = _ and my twtxt is located at https://doesnm.cc/twtxt.txt then just display me as doesnm.cc. Why it's not intuitive?=
@doesnm So the user should then set nick = _@domain.tld in the twtxt.txt?

It seems more intuitive and userfriendly to just use: nick = domain.tld and have then convention for clients to render the handle as @domain.tld instead of @domain.tld@domain.tld

For a feed with no nick defined (eg. https://akkartik.name/twtxt.txt) it will also be simpler and make more sense to just use the domain as the nick and render it as @domain.tld

Are we talking about profile view heading, heading of posts or inline mentions?
In yarnd I recall there is a setting for changing the heading of posts, but not for the two others as of yet.
I like the hover option for inline mentions. For the other places some like how yarnd does it in two line or " nick _(domain.tld)_ " could also work.

and going back to a handle you could input in your client to look for the user/file, like @nick@domain.tls I think Webfinger is the way to go. It has enough information to know where to find that nick's URL.

@prologic does that webfinger fork made by darch work OK with yarn as it is now? (I've never used it, so I'm researching about it)

Wife and I agreed on hibernate until January, just visiting relatives but avoiding any kind of shopping. I tried buying something like 2 or 3 days ago and it's insane :o

Good luck! :)
I'm just having a similar issue with a podcast I just uploaded on Castopod (which supports ActivityPub).

My first thought was creating a subdomain with the name of the podcast mordiscos.eapl.me

Then I watched that the software allows many podcasts in the same domain, so I had to pick a handle:
https://mordiscos.eapl.me/@podcast

So now I have @podcast@mordiscos.eapl.me when this one is 'more correct' @mordiscos@podcast.eapl.me or it could even be @mordiscos.eapl.me
I wasn't aware of all that when I setup Castopod (documentation might improve a lot, IMO)

My point here is that it's something important to think from the start, otherwise is painful to change if it's already being used like that.
Grocery shopping in the day of Christmas Eve is nuts, and wife is dragging me through it. 😩
my 2 cents here...
I agree on displaying a short @nick.

We could hover on the nick to see the full detail which could be @nick@domain.tls or the full URL
Also it could be a display option in Preferences in case your account starts showing many collisions.

The disambiguation for collisions is the .txt URL and the nick inside it, right ?
