Hello! I am new here, and likely so are you.

It’s great to see local communities online - and a great time to shape how we’d like to go on.

I’d love to hear people’s thoughts on a display name change from Wellington to The Whanaganui-a-Tara.

This would not change the URL, or stop people finding us by searching Wellington.

Tell us what you think… Go!

    Given that 95% of NZ speaks English, why not English

    As @batwingnz@lemmy.nz mentioned, it’s about putting the names in front of us. Putting them second would contradict that purpose.

    Your one would cut off the actual name we’re looking for in shortened links etc. It’s also a bloody mouthful.

    The community is !wellington@lemmy.nz. The displayed name is longer when you visit the community, but if you’re searching for or linking to it, !wellington@lemmy.nz is fine and is what will be prefilled by Lemmy (on the website, and maybe the app).
