The names of previous Lemmy versions were all very boring and repetetive. We need something much more creative. Any ideas?
No we don’t.
Versioning like this is good for knowing how far off you are from current.
We’ve been notoriously bad about doing more frequent releases, but if we were to release every month, then naming them could get annoying really quickly.
I’d prefer to just stay with the semantic version numbering, like a lot of projects with a ton of releases do. Like look at react’s releases.
The fun named versioning makes sense for operating systems, that release only like once a year, but not for apps, docker services, libraries, etc.
We only do major versions around once a year so those could still be named, while using numbers for minor versions. Lemmy is more user-facing than react, so it would make sense to have a more user-friendly versioning.
I’d be good with that.
Add ridiculous titles for each version. For example. Lemmy Release v0.18.1: The Revengence
I just think it would be funny to have “Are you still on Revengence? Make sure you update to Snickerdoodle” pop up from time to time.
Call the next one Final and the one after that Final.Final

LudwigInstead of “release v20” how about “full release v20”
Call me a shit stirer but I can’t help but wonder if this violates rule 3? Which I say not to have this removed from here but because of the IMO weirdness of not wanting any lemmy-support posts here as though lemmy isn’t a growing space in need of supporting new users.
