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/[email protected]/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 allover Lemmy for discovery and promotion.
Basically whatever the url is in the title as well as the description. On Reddit I would upvote any new subs I thought were positive, open ones I might join in another tab, and make mental notes of any useful sounding ones.
Having both the url and the link in the title posts really streamlines things and increases the value provided.
I think this is just something we need to fix locally on kbin inside the single article template. Currently now it just says (kbin) when I would expect it to say the name of the magazine/community it came from.
We have that data on the feed back (it shows correctly there), but on the single page it seems to be incorrect.
I’d be keen not only on seeing the name, but also bringing in the little icon and having it clickable to jump to that community.
Little UI changes like that are happening now on kbin so I’ll bring it up in the developer chat and see what can be done to fix it
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?
I’m not OP, but when I’m looking at each title on kbin’s links feed page i DO see the community name, but when I’m on a post’s comments page itself i DON’T see the community name.
I am OP and I’m confused as fuck lol (Huge Fedverse noob here). I just wanted @Akhuyan, the primary content provider for this sub, to change up their title format.
Like if they were announcing this community it would be:
New Communities (c/newcommunities) A Community That Announces New Communities
or in the case of the latest post:
Kill La Kill (c/killlakill) - A community for Kill La Kill, a fiction series with action
I just want the c/URL included in the title so that I can look it up at my own leisure without clicking the link or doing a search later.
Obviously, for a noob it’s confusing to see kbin next to the title, when this post is actually on lemmy.world.
This kind of thing really needs to be ironed out, if we want the fediverse to ever gain mass traction with the unwashed masses. Assuming that’s something people want.
Hopefully upcoming apps will make it all easier for casual users.

Your answer is so helpful, and without a hint of toxicity. I must not be on Reddit anymore… :-P
No, on the home page it shows the community/magazine name in the bottom right.
