Mastodon’s QR feature lets users quickly share any profile by tapping a QR icon next to the username in the Android app.

This generates a unique QR code that others can scan to instantly open the profile in their app or browser, making it much easier to connect-especially at events or in noisy environments.

Would a similar feature benefit Lemmy?

    Serious question: Do people share their lemmy account with others irl?
    Not even my closest friends and family know my username let alone random strangers. And I intend to keep it that way.

      Well there once was a guy who wanted to know my Lemmy name, but only because I didn’t have a mastodon account

      I never did, but I also don’t know any other Lemmy user in person, so I guess it’s pretty pointless to share my profile.
