If you're not sure about any of this you can contact the GoToSocial devs at https://codeberg.org/superseriousbusiness/gotosocial#contact -- there should be enough information here for them to determine if this is a misconfiguration of your server, a GoToSocial bug, or a Mastodon bug.
Your account name isn't displaying properly on Mastodon. It looks like this:
Note the :purplerabbit:
in there.
This is because you have several emoji references in your account's display_name
, but your account info doesn't include all the emoji details, so other servers can't show it.
Your account's display_name
looks like this:
Omega :purplerabbit::transfeminine_flag::ms_neurodiversity:
An example post (as seen from mastodon.social) is https://mastodon.social/api/v1/statuses/114798152517937637.
The account info with emojis in the response is:

As you can see, there's no entry in there with a shortcode
that matches purplerabbit
, so clients (whether it's the Mastodon web UI, or apps like Pachli (https://pachli.app)) can't show the emoji.
I don't know GoToSocial well enough, so I can't tell if this is:
- A configuration issue on your server, and it's not including the emoji information when it should be
- A GoToSocial bug
- A Mastodon bug
Hopefully that's enough info to get started.
