If the name changes, won’t another community with the same name just pop up? (lemmy.world)

Maybe I am failing to understand the point here, but if the name gets changed, what would be the point if a new PC Master Race community can just get remade afterwards? The name of this community is really the only differentiating piece of identity that makes this community different from any other PC gaming community.

I would imagine this community would still exist, but with a stickied post directing to the new name. Assuming stickied posts exist in Lemmy.

That is what the current pinned post here mentions that it will do. But even in that case, one could still make a PCMR community on a different instance than Lemmy.world. As more and more users subscribe to that instance's PCMR community, it will overshadow this one when new users search for a PCMR community on Lemmy. The only users who end up following the pinned post here to the new non-MR community will be the ones specifically searching just this instance for a PCMR community.
