Dear all,  
If you “Install” the community on your mobile device it shows a name for this installation. (Obviously..)  
How can you change this name?  
For example, the installation from [meta.discourse.org](http://meta.discourse.org) is called “Meta”.  
What if you would want users to see the name “Meta Discourse” instead? 🤔

That will be the short title setting. It must be under 12 characters per documentation.

Ah, thanks!  
I was wondering why it choose only 12 characters of the 17 in total 😃  
The short title setting was still not filled in though, but I just located it!  
First word is luckily exactly 12 letters 🎊 (Second would be “forum”)  
It does however cut-off strange on android, and the word forum would fit there just fine..  
Guess I have to live with this..
