The names of previous Lemmy versions were all very boring and repetetive. We need something much more creative. Any ideas?

    Hmm 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.

    Eh, if someone on the team is feeling creative I don’t mind fun version numbers but semantic versioning is quite searchable and reduces confusion.

      One does not exclude the other. You can have a fancy name and a semantic versioning.

    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.

    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.

    Books of the Bible, Torah and Koran

    The amount of controversy it would generate would propel Lemmy into international headlines.
