The actual community name hasn’t changed from !spaceporn@lemmy.fmhy.ml, right? I guess changing that would mean moving to a new community.
Yes, you can only change displayed name of the community.
Even though I agree dropping the “porn” moniker from the community is a good way to separate from reddit. I think that changing the community name is not a good idea when the URL isn’t also changed. It’s just going to add unnecessary confusion. If there was a way to migrate the community to a new name, then the change would be good.
Wouldn’t now be the perfect time to change communities in that case? The subscriber count is still low and people won’t really complain.
The subscriber count is pretty damn high for lemmy standards and it’s not worth losing a lot of subscribers over something so trivial like permament sub name. Posts on the sub would also be lost which would be a shame.
Why change of the name?
I’ve had multiple users express to me that they would like to see a name change to lose the porn moniker. If it makes people more comfortable then I’m fine with it.
