So when is it safe to upgrade, and from/to which version(s)?
-
I've become a fan of staying one version behind for a month or two, unless there's a security issue that is involved in which case I'll patch.
I like it when someone who isn't me finds out the catastrophic breaking issues and has to do the cleanup, and I'll wait for the fixed version. :P

just did the jump fro. .5 to .8 today (for all of my 2 active users)
-
Heh, I upgraded from 0.19.5 to 0.19.8 today just to see this.
-
Sadly, I still don't see pictures being displayed on lemmy.cafe - perhaps that problem was unrelated, or the upgrade process isn't entirely finished yet.

Indeed, I raised in on the local community

I don't even know in which version is my instance (Lemm.ee) I'd like that mobile clients showed up this value more easily (maybe they do but I am dumb, I use Summit, Voyager, Boost and the defunct Sync).
-
0.19.7
-

That's one thing I really like about lemmy.ml compared to some other instances, it's always kept up to date. I'd host my own for myself but then it's just another thing I'm responsible for and I'd rather not.
-
The point of this post was to show that other large instances like lemmy.zip and dbzer0 updated the day of the release

It would be more useful to see metrics weighted per active user it's trivial to update a server if it's just for yourself, and likewise it's easy to let it lag a few versions behind.
What's more relevant is the version number the large instances are running
You can filter https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy by monthly active users.
Note: 0.19.6 and 0.19.7 had an issue with pictures thumbnails, which is why quite a few instances kept running 0.19.5
The elephant in the room is obviously LW which hosts around a third of the monthly active users but still run 0.19.3
A month ago someone asked about this on !support@lemmy.world, for people interested: https://lemmy.world/post/22173840
Edit: added hexbear, discuss.tchncs.de and infosec.pub which just updated
we'll try to get the post out the coming week, at this time we're roughly looking at updating late January.
