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.
  
  Maybe it's because I used reddit for 3 years but I didn't see anything wrong with "porn" in the name. Probably because pretty much everything had this word in the ~~title~~ name so I had to get used to it haha.
- Cowards.
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.
- It looks like I'm still subscribed so it's all good. Nice to know it just works.
