[Coco]How does the "being forgotten" thing work?

When Miguel goes to land of the dead he says he's seen Hector and he'll tell people about him when he gets back so he's not forgotten. Hector says it doesn't work like that.

Then He comes back. Coco remembers Hector and tells people about him. Hector is still there. How is that any different?

I think the difference is whether the person doing the telling knew the dead person while they were alive.

Miguel never knew Hector while he was alive, he only met him in the land of the dead, so telling people about him wouldn't help him be remembered.

But at the end of the movie Miguel helped Coco remember Hector.  She did know him when he was alive, and she told people about him, which meant he was remembered even after she died.
