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.
- lemmy.ml, hexbear and Lemmy dbzer0 are the only ones in the top 10 to run 0.19.8
- discuss.tchncs.de, lemmy.zip and sopuli.xyz, infosec.pub are in the top 20 and run 0.19.8 as well
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.
Thanks for jumping in!
Total MAUs are so low. You really need solid double digit YoY growth (20-30% YoY) to have a strong trajectory in the medium term.
Monthly active users have plateaued at 44k for a while now: https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
Yet, comments per day seems to be going up! And I helped!
Have a cookie!
That’s not really good a thing.
Obviously not
User count seems to be going up according to fedidb. At least in the number of federated users.
It the number of active users stays the same, that could just mean that
- people are changing instances
- some instances shut down
- some farmbots were open
My theory is that there is quite a few servers that are chosing to defederate. The number of total servers continues to drop according to fedidb.
So while total users go up, the global federation is staying around the same. There’s quite a few servers that don’t want to be connected to everyone else.
My theory is that there is quite a few servers that are chosing to defederate. The number of total servers continues to drop according to fedidb.
Or admins are just finding it not worth bothering with administering their own server and turning them off.
Heh, I upgraded from 0.19.5 to 0.19.8 today just to see this.
So when is it safe to upgrade, and from/to which version(s)?
Due to unpleasant experiences, not the first day :)
People who were there for 0.19.4 remember 😅
But this one seems quite stable, it is a fix for 0.19.7, so hopefully no bug
Ya, my whole server was in a bad mood after 19.4.
I’m on 19.5 which one should I go with (I mean if 19.6 had problems there is maybe a 19.6.1 right?)?
No, it’s directly 0.19.6, then .7 and .8
So you’d recommend the 19.7 as a bugfree stable version?
0.19.8 is the bugfix for 0.19.7. You can wait a few days to see if 0.19.8 has bugs
Yes that’s the theory 😊 but I heard icons or something doesn’t work well on 19.7…
Do they do backports?
See my other comment: https://feddit.org/post/5681514/3636860
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
Ok
Oh shit I haven’t seen anything from hilariouschaos in forever even tho I sort by new and new comments all the time.
I thought the instance died. Good to see y’all still here
I’ll have to federate our communities again maybe. Ty for heads up! Good to see you to
Ok
