   I can't seem to find it in the #Mastodon docs, but I'm trying to come up with a #regex for validating Mastodon usernames and can't find exactly what's allowed.

   Part of me wants to treat it like an e-mail address with an extra at sign.

     @jszym that's because Mastodon is probably just using ActivityPub rules that every other ActivityPub software probably also uses.

     @jszym no problem. Overall, Mastodon doesn't like to conform to ActovityPub standards, however, if you're ever looking for a way Mastodon does something and they don't have a clear stated way to do it, it's always good to look for ActivityPubs way of doing it.👍

     @BeAware Just in case anyone else comes across this, I found the regex at the linked page didn't really match super well with the text of the page.

     This is one that seems to make a lot more sense to me:
