Thanks for responding so fast! I think you already did everything you could. I’m sure it will be better once someone is able to change the display title at least. I’m glad this community is taking off :)

I don’t knoww haha, because I would have to check on the original instance, and most of the time I just subscribe and move on.
I think on kbin.social one of the developers is adding the new communities very quickly so the display name is based on the address one.

This is what it looks like on kbin.social - https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]

When I do search on kbin.social however for a community, ones on lemmy won’t show with the display name anyway I think; it will show the address like “[email protected]”

I was able to find and add this community because of a reddit migration directory to show me this community is for adhdmemes :)

@ernest

Is it possible to rename the display name for this magazine to “ADHD memes”? The original instance updated the display name, but the address will always be the same.

Forum on the original instance is here https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/adhd

Ahh I see, yeah on your instance, I saw it’s already called ADHD memes. Thanks, maybe I can contact the first person that subscribed to update the name displayed on kbin.

@db0

Sorry if it’s not allowed to post like this (just lmk and I’ll delete, or feel free to delete), but do you think it would be a good idea to rename this community to something like “adhdmeme”? I’m browsing from kbin.social, where the name is just “adhd”, which makes it hard for me to differentiate if the post on my feed is coming from lighter forum, or if it’s from this slightly more serious forum also called adhd (but from kbin)

I’m glad. Amazon doesn’t let workers unionize even though their work conditions are bad. I always see these truck/van drivers running to their next stop

I think that is true that most people will not leave reddit. I’m in a subreddit called redditalternatives, and lately not many people are posting in it anymore. It definitely feels like a niche thing, but I think it’s okay. Reddit won’t last forever, and in the meantime, we can be seeing if fediverse is the way forward. This isn’t the first time reddit screwed up and it won’t be the last.

They’re also I think trying to become like tiktok and give lots of forever scrollable content, but I think tiktok/youtube shorts already fill that niche

I think number 1 is important so it’s easier to move. Otherwise we could feel centralized to one instance rather than feeling free to federate

It could help too if maybe on the sign up page, if an instance is getting full, they suggest some instances that are less full to join. That way people can be guided without having to do research on their own (before they’ve even decided to commit to the fediverse)
