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 [email protected], 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 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
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
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
