Interesting, there is still a wefwef community so I would have thought that was the first search result, but he said that he “closed” it when he rebranded, and I don’t know how Lemmy handles that.

So I guess a mod can lock and “archive” a community so it doesn’t appear in searches, but those that was already subscribed can see it?

But this link that goes to the post in that community still works.

He announced it some days ago in /c/wefwef: https://lemmy.world/post/1181356

If you have already installed the app as wefwef, I think you have to remove it and install it again to get the new name.
