Cool. How is this related to the Fediverse?

Because URLs are usually in ASCII. That was a standard. Check RFC 1738 and 3986. Now, you can use percent encoding, but why use that. It just complicates things.

You won’t get non latin usernames anytime soon. But you can change the display name using non latin charactets

I use my own self hosted SearXNG.

Is there a good reason why? Even MAL takes user submissions.

Mine are:

• Aniyomi (basically tachiyomi advanced with anime streaming functionality [can also update stuff on your anime tracking accounts such as MAL])
• Bitwarden (password manager)
• Florisboard (keyboard)
• Jerboa (lemmy client)
• Firefox (browser)
• InnerTune (music player that can also use youtube music)
• Aegis (2fa app)
• Signal (secure messenger)
• Element (matrix based decentralized secure messenger)
• Obtainium (apk fetcher?)
• F-Droid (open source marketplace for open source software)
• BetterUntis (a better unofficial webuntis client)
• RethinkDNS (firewall, proxy and dns all in one [I use it with mullvad vpn’s wireguard config])
• Shelter (app isolator)
• KurobaEx (imageboard such as 4chan explorer)
• LiberaTorrent (torrent client)
• Termux (cli)
• NextCloud (cloud storage)
• Survival Manual (offline survival manual with helpful information for surviving. [actually helped me once])

It’s also 10€ per year if you live in the EU.
