Rename the app to Lemmyconnect

Why call it "Connect for Lemmy"? It's so inconvenient and not catchy at all. Might even be misunderstood by most search enaginges when typing in the current name of the app. Just call the app like this community "Lemmyconect"

I like it the way it is now.
Nah it's good
It's a case of Old habits dying hard, I like it, we all know why it's connect for lemmy.
I would bet it has to do with the trend of things being named "X for Y" because all the Reddit clients had to be renamed when Reddit changed their tos so that any third party app name couldn't start with Reddit. Hence Relay for Reddit, Sync for Reddit, etc...

Edit: Apparently this is a Play Store policy not Reddit. So, it makes even more sense.
- Well luckily we are not bound zo Reddit tos anymore 🤗
  
  It's a Play Store policy, not a Reddit one. Twitter clients that mentioned Twitter in the title has to be renamed X for Twitter too.
