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.

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.tldFor 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

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.

@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! :)
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.
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 URLAlso 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 ?
