We are not YPTB. If you have a problem with the way an instance or community is run, then take it up over at !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com.
- Addendum: Yes we know that you think ml/hexbear/grad are tankies and or .world are a bunch of liberals but it gets old quickly. Try and come up with new material.
This is not the place to start flamewars between Lemmy, Mbin and Piefed.

As an app developer, I'm about to just give up on showing the community display names 😔 (lemmy.world)

Just truncate it at the first punctuation mark (or space if they try to game it by removing colons and hyphens).

I've been doing that for ages now: splicing it at : and - and using the first array element. It's just annoying. That, and having to watch and account for false-positives (e.g. X: Files, Self-Hosted, etc). And some places it makes sense to show the full name, but it often still gets truncated in CSS depending on device width. Plus, some community display names don't use that format :(

Was trying a different approach this time around, and it clearly didn't work out lol.
