I wanted to post to this sub but couldn’t find it because the name is fucked.
I get it’s a shitpoty sub, but can we at least keep the name relevant.

That’s not the displayed name when you view a list of communities in eg. PieFed and also doesn’t come up in search when you search formuladank
https://piefed.social/topic/sports-fitness
It says
formuladank
everywhere in your link though, right?This makes it hard for potential new joiners to understand what sub they are seeing, and could just skip over it

Weird, I have never seen any display names for communities. Maybe it’s a piefed bug or option you can disable.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature. Literally.
That ways subs like mlb@lemmy.ml can have Major League Baseball display as their name. so people can more easily discover them.
I believe not all apps support showing display names for subs/users. Summit for example only added it relatively recently.
But otherwise yeah, it’s a Lemmy feature and it’s pretty great.
