I am working on updating the platform to support multiple seasons with modifiers :) more info soon!
Thanks for creating the project; it's a good way to help maintain a sense of community within the Fediverse.
Given that the vast majority of participants were from Lemmy or Piefed, next time it might also be worth making a separate post for it on Mastodon.
I did make a Mastodon post, but I don't really have a big following over there, so I guess discoverability can be a bit rubbish? Any tips on getting the word out over there are much appreciated!
