I've been using lemmy app for quite a while now, and i noticed some app doesn't display the community name as displayed name but instead they show the identifier, so the post will shows up like this:
(true for sync and thunder as well)
The search result:
in a glance, which politic community is for what country?
This wouldn't be a problem when your home instance is monyet.cc and you understand who this instance is for, but the problem comes out when there's like a handful of community with the same name but from different instance, all without clear identity and without clue at first glance what and who those are for. Our politic community are basically invisible in /All.
From the search result, we can see a lot of country_politics community that clearly identify the country the politics are for, and i think that is the right way to do it, so i create a new politic community addressing that issue and serve the wider fediverse instead of just locally. It also didn't break the rule.
Perhaps in the future those app will address this issue and give people option to turn on community display name, but i wouldn't bet on future that relies on other people, and even then, people can turn off that option and we will be invisible.
