Are you clicking the Save button at the very bottom of the section where you change your display name?
Yes. If I only change the display name it will very briefly look like it's doing some kind of backend update, then the field will get cleared back to nothing. If I also change the theme and update the display name, the name it will persist after the "save" process and the theme will appear to applied, but all changes are lost if I refresh or navigate to a different page. The display name is never applied to any posts and never changes in the account actions menu in the upper-right.
Changing theme seems to work on my end, I'm on desktop. I would suggest trying a different device otherwise maybe @muad_dibber@lemmygrad.ml might be able to help.
