How do I setup my name for posts in other instances? - eviltoast

I see a lot of users who post have @nameblah@instancetheiraccountison, which I think is very handy when posting in other instances. Did I miss a step in my account setup? How do I set my name up in the same manor? TIA

    Your name has that anywhere but your home instance to other users there. I see your name with your instancefor example (though by default my app actually turns it off). Because I’m registered somewhere else.

    You don’t have to do anything on your end. On the lemmy web ui the instance is automatically shown if it’s not coming from the same instance you’re on
