As far as I can tell the full username is only hidden on the same instance. So for instance, I see your full user name, but I only see the shortname for mine.

We've got it too but we pronounce it right.
It takes a little getting used to but I'm liking it more and more. Even with it's quirks.
This is disgraceful thank you for marking it nsfw.
I don't see my instance on there.
Oh this is interesting. Yours is shortened too.
I host my own instance and it's just me (because I'm so unlikable I can't even get my 2 FRIENDS to join my instance. I digress)
I wonder if there's some setting or ENV variable somewhere on the instance to change that.
It's not a perfect solution but, and requires some sort of VPS, but you could run a reverse proxy on a VPS, site-to-site vpn from the VPS to your Homelab, and point your reverse proxy to the services over said VPN.
I do something like this. However, it doesn't completely hide your IP.
So the software you're looking for is a Reverse Proxy (nginx, traefik, caddy... etc. there are tons), a VPN (Wireguard, OpenVPN, StrongSwan (IPsec)), and more than likely some sort of VPS. My Linode VPS costs me $5 a month. They constantly have sponsor deals that will get new users free time though.
Hope that gets you started.
It's part of the reason I chose to host my own rather than depend on another server somewhere. That way when I do fuck it up at least the only person to blame is me
Yay federation and activitypub!
I don't have it set to private because when I tried that before it seems to break federation entirely. I do however have to approve anyone who wants to join. At this point I'd probably allow my close friends to join if they wanted, but that's about it.
Mostly because I am nearly 100% positive I will either lose my ZFS array, try to move the server to different hardware and bork psql, or what have you...
My homelab is mostly duck tape and bubblegum.
Well the VPN connection depending on what technology you use will still need to connect to the Public home IP, which is probably dynamic, which means that you'd probably need to use Dyanmic DNS to keep it connecting properly.
As far as someone just connecting to the reverse proxy the Home IP shouldn't be visible at all. I just mean it wouldn't hide well were someone really trying to find it.
I'm not sure I'm explaining this well. I haven't had coffee yet.
Could be either of those! It's just me in here. But I use https://github.com/Fmstrat/lcs to seed my server with a bunch of stuff so I can subscribe to what I want to see. Or reply with my own account on my own server!
I don't gotta be on no stinking list!
This. This shit right here man. I love it.
Use the eagles? You don't just USE the Eagles. They are intelligent beings. They don't submit to the will of anyone. They kindly risked their lives toward the end, and only because things had escalated already.
Well in that case, tailscale is running as a daemon, so it effectively is doing it's own little Dynamic DNS.
I suppose the point I'm trying to make is SOMEONE has to know your public Home IP. In the case of using tailscale, it would be the tailscale servers. But you would be correct that I don't believe it would be published to any public DNS servers.
In my case, I'm using cloudflare for DDNS.
The solution I describe comes with a bit of risk acceptance (just like anything else really).
That's ok we have /c/linux now.
Oh. This makes sense.
Almost Heaven.
I think for philanthropy to even be a possibility your company needs to be profitable first. Reddit has never been profitable.
But I get your sentiment.
Since I'm hosting my own, I have it set to subscribed, which is not much different than "All" for me.
I'm on the app right now and I find the jank kind of charming.
Glad I host my own instance so I get to choose what I get to see.
