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.

    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
