Why call it “Connect for Lemmy”? It’s so inconvenient and not catchy at all. Might even be misunderstood by most search enaginges when typing in the current name of the app. Just call the app like this community “Lemmyconect”

It’s a Play Store policy, not a Reddit one. Twitter clients that mentioned Twitter in the title has to be renamed X for Twitter too.

hmm interesting, I guess there must be some reason. Was just wondering is anyone could link why it has to be done this way and if it was actually due to Reddit tos as a brand or general play store guidelines

Well so you can just use the acronym of the app itself in the beginning of the play store name and it’s all good? I’d like to see some source for these ominous play store policy

I have no idea. Something about branding and fine print.

Maybe it was related to “impersonating other existing program”? Or is was just a brand guideline to the Reddit brand, anyway here are the guidlines related to app naming and some examples. https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9898842#zippy=%2Cexamples-of-common-violations
