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.
The community name is always !formuladank@lemmy.world
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-fitnessIt 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.
The sub changes display name constantly in reference to current events. It’s a great tradition that is part of the fun.
Exactly 👍
I’m not a new member here or the subreddit predating it. But I am confused, all the time, about everything.
