What I want to do is simple: I have changed a raspberry hostname to something different from raspberrypi and I want to ping this raspberry from another raspberry via its new hostname. What happens is that, for some reason, raspberry can't find other raspberries via ping, and I know the hostname change works because I can ping this renamed raspberry from my PC. Is there anything I can do change this scenario?

Try adding .local to the end of your pi name.

ping raspberrypi.local

Try

avahi-browse -at

(you may need to install avahi-utils for this)

this will give you a list of devices that can be found. For example, one of my Pi`s appears as

+   eth0 IPv4 phi [b8:27:eb:c0:55:47]         Workstation          local

That means I can see the Pi as phi.local.
