Your "name" in the fediverse is fomo_erotic@lemmy.ml. It's just using shorthand for your name here. If someone else signed up on kbin as fomo_erotic@kbin.social they would have that as their username. You can't log into one with the credentials on the other - they are totally separate. If you signed up on another Lemmy instance, like beehaw.org, you could be fomo_erotic@beehaw.org there, and that account would have no relation to your account on lemmy.ml. So don't get too caught up in the idea that you are using Lemmy and I'm using kbin - it's more about what home server you use.

I attached (probably? I don't know how to use this well yet) a screenshot of what your account looks like on my end
