    It’s a nonsense word, there’s no right or wrong plural for it, most will say wugs, just like you did and that’s the entire point of this test.

      Oh I see. Thanks!

      Love your user name by the way. I should have thought to grab a reference like that while the user count is low.

        You can simply look for an instance where that username is not taken yet… there are 1400 instances, though not all joinable or desirable, and some surely have a zaphod already… but it is really easy to obtain the exact username you desire.

          It wouldn’t have to be that exact name though. Any H2G2 reference would be cool, like vogon, agrajag or something. But I see what you mean about just creating the same name on a different lemmy instance. I guess that’s an aspect of the fediverse I hadn’t thought about.

            For sure! I briefly debated using a different reference, but the explanation works nicely with that example given that it’s already taken at least once.
