For the record the devs said this game took eight years to make, and might’ve been pitched even earlier than that. I can’t imagine working on a project for a decade and releasing to… This.

Eternity! Can’t imagine using anything else at this point.

The origin of the name is actually told in Lemmy’s GitHub page, it’s not just the Motorhead singer and Lemmings:

Why’s it called Lemmy?

• Lead singer from Motörhead.
• The old school video game.
• The Koopa from Super Mario.
• The furry rodents.

So basically the name came from an amalgam of things the lead dev liked.

Dear god, I expected old memes but this is super vintage I don’t think most people would even know this

My phone. I really need to work on not holding it at all times and opening the screen, looking for notifications, and closing it again every 30 seconds.

Mods are awake, post Lemmings

Federating in the meantime is not.

Dude, Threads isn’t federating with anything right now. That’s the point, we’re not federated so there’s no reason to make a decision on something that won’t happen yet.

I’ve made many comments saying why we should defederate with Threads but I still agree with the admins that there’s no point in doing a knee-jerk reaction on a threat that

A) won’t happen until at least a few months later

B) likely won’t federate with Lemmy anyways

C) isn’t actually a threat to Lemmy, but could pose a threat to microblogging websites like Mastodon

So yeah, waiting and seeing isn’t stupid.

Dumb take. Lemmy.world devs simply said it’s not likely Threads will federate with Lemmy anytime soon anyways, and they’ll make a decision when there is actually a decision to be made.
