Hi all,

Guess it's never too early to start thinking about features we'd like to see in Boost for Lemmy!

I was scrolling down my list of subbed communities just now and reflecting that the "@(server)" part of the community names makes it harder to quickly read them (for me at least).

I know that - this being the fediverse - you might sub to two communities with the same name but on different servers (eg. Football@[server]) but I would imagine that the majority of users will just pick one and on the day to day they won't be terribly concerned where exactly that community is being hosted.

I think it'd be neat if you could select to hide the server part of the community name in Boost's list, or at least make it less prominent in the name visually (e.g. - the actual name part in a highlight colour, the server part in a grey/other colour that blends in against the backdrop).

Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

If this is available it definitely needs to be an option, and I think it probably needs to not be the default. I know I like to know which instances I'm interacting with, and I think it makes sense because that's part of the point of the Fediverse.

Yep, I would agree on both counts - default behaviour should be people see servers in some respect, and those who are annoyed enough by it (like me) will go looking for the option :)
