Community Name (lemmy.world)
submitted 1 year ago by dukethorion@lemmy.world to c/jerboa@lemmy.ml

Is there any way the mods can change the display name of this community so it's an actual name instead of jerboa@lemmy.ml? Most of the other communities have done this, so it makes this community look strange in the feeds.

If a community is not on the instance you're a part of (as in it's not a local community), it will show "@name of instance" after the name of the community, it doesn't have to do with the name of the instance, just how the UI works.

For some reason I feel like I should have already known this. Maybe because it's the only community I'm in that doesn't show a recognizable avatar. Just looks strange and in my head it looks like a user instead of a community. Disregard.

I'm pretty sure all communities on foreign (to you) instances have their instance name.

You are dukethorion@lemmy.world

Thus all lemmy.world communities show to you as "community"

But all others will show as community@lemmy.ml or community@beehaw.org for examples

If you were to switch to another instance it would be the same way on those

Something like:

"Jerboa - Lemmy for Android"

Or if hyphens aren't allowed:

"Jerboa App For Android"

Jerboa is a native-android client for Lemmy, built using the native android framework, Jetpack Compose.

Warning: You can submit issues, but between Lemmy and lemmy-ui, I probably won't have too much time to work on them. Learn jetpack compose like I did if you want to help make this app better.
