    Point 1 refers to the “Name” and “Display name”. For example it’s cumbersome to have cases like “Programmer Humor” pointing to “/c/programmerhumor” and “Lemmy Support” pointing to “/c/lemmy_support”

      That to me is a very necessary feature, for at least two reasons.

      • Internationalization: URLs are always latin chars, which would exclude any non-latin community or usernames.
      • More complex community names. You can see how ridiculous reddit community names can get, because they don’t allow spaces or non-latin characters, in either community or usernames. Spaces specifically is a necessary one for both, and URLs wouldn’t permit that.
