That's kinda impossible in Lemmy's current implementation because your ActivityPub person ID is linked to your username (through your /u/ URL)
Mastodon also made that mistake. I believe Akkoma and the *key forks use user IDs so they could theoretically make it work, though I'm not entirely sure on that.
Make the jump, my friend. I did it. This was my reddit name, but I've slowly madethis my name basically everywhere, and it's so nice not having to remember usernames.
