Title
I’m commenting just to show support on this. The titles people are using are useless.
If we’re talking about posts in !newcommunities@lemmy.world, then I’m 100% on board! I think that would be really helpful.
If we’re talking about lemmy.world-wide across all communities, then I respectfully oppose this suggestion. I can easily see the community name underneath the title of a post. Adding the community name will cause communities to have pages and pages of posts that all start with the community name. Furthermore, if we ever get post tags, they will take up even more space and overwhelm the reader.
I’m talking about this specific community yes. Since >90% of posts here are done by @Akhuyan this is barely a meta post lol
I am in support of this. No need to go back and alter the old content in the sub, unless you’re bored or something. But moving forward this would be helpful.
It would make the community a lot more useful. I’m not interested in visiting every new community but it would be nice to know they exist. Meanwhile having to open every post is very inconvenient compared to simply reading it in the title and know it exists if I want to check it out.
Yep. Title could just be a link to the forum itself. Would include the name and the Instance, giving people that basic info right off the bat.
There’s a PR open (https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/pulls/214) but I’m assuming Ernest has a million other things going on right now too.
I would go a step further: Make it required for posts in newcommunities@lemmy.world
My personal favorite would be: Titles must include the community identifier (community@instance.com), and the name or a description if the identifier does not speak for itself.
The goal would be: People can tell from the title …
- do I already know the community, do I remember it?
- what is it about, am I interested?
It looks like Lemmy doesn’t do that, but I see them after every post (in a smaller font) over here on kbin.social. Here’s a quick link to your own post over here - you might need to open it in a browser where you aren’t logged in, I’m not sure: https://kbin.social/m/newcommunities@lemmy.world/t/103987/meta-Can-We-Please-Include-The-Community-Name-In-The.
I just meant for this community. The only reason I didn’t message @Akhuyan directly is because they obviously chose not to include the community name and creating a post would indicate it’s popularity in order to validate my request/opinion.
Hello, I never really thought of it that way. I thought it would be more useful for a description since some community names don’t make sense by themself, but I think including both the name and a description in the title would be more useful.
Saw this post earlier and wanted to respond before continuing to post with the community name added this time but got sidetracked into an internet rabbit hole accidentally, so sorry for the delay in response to this post
For clarification, a post title would be like this? Just to make sure I’m understanding correctly:
New Communities - A place to post new communities all over Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
It just says “kbin.social” in small after the title on Kbin, which is neither the community name nor the server on which the community exists. Am I missing something?
