The names of previous Lemmy versions were all very boring and repetetive. We need something much more creative. Any ideas?
Name it after famous Lemmy’s.
V1.0 - Killmister
V2.0 - KoopaHmm so you’re looking for a naming theme like the old Android scheme of Desserts or MacOS California Parks.
List off the top of my head
- Tree Species
- Cities, Towns, Villages in Cuba
- Mushroom Species
- Names of Wildflowers
That’s all I got for now.
My vote is for the mushroom species, I also just love eating mushrooms 🍄🤤
All the next one Final and the one after that Final.Final
- goddamn.final
- truly.final
- final.i.swear
- final.ffs
- no.more.revision
- no.more.revision.please
- no.more.goddamn.revision
- no.more.fcken.revisiom
- no.more.revision.ffs
use.this.one.actually
I feel attacked.
Music artists? Bands? Mountain names? Types of peppers? Either one would spice things up a bit I think lol
I like the TeX version scheme, it starts with version 3. After that it’s:
3.1
3.14
3.141
3.1415 etc. Current stable release is 3.141592653. The message is that each version is a more accurate approximation of pi. It’s not growing much bigger, but better.This is fun but also incredibly awful
Instead of “release v20” how about “full release v20”
It’s software versioning, not a new breakfast cereal
Books of the Bible, Torah and Koran
The amount of controversy it would generate would propel Lemmy into international headlines.
or chapters from “Das Capital”

LudwigThe descriptions up until 0.18.5 seem very informative.
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.
So are you saying we are gonna get monthly updates 👀👀
I’d like that, we just have to be more disciplined about not adding breaking changes too often.
Take your time
I agree that there shouldn’t be official names for versions.
It sounds a bit too soon to use release names, especially given that Lemmy is still in alpha.
When a major release comes out, I suggest using colony names (fictional or real), like the pirate republic.
In general, I like names that highlight the decentralised aspect of the fediverse.
No we don’t.
Versioning like this is good for knowing how far off you are from current.
Maybe various rodent species?
Having a name for a version would be nice for each major release (1.0.0 would have a name but 1.x.x wouldn’t, but 2.0.0 would, etc)
