    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.

        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.

            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.

                  Or admins are just finding it not worth bothering with administering their own server and turning them off.

                  I’m not seeing that trend. There are people who don’t want to federate. But they usually choose different software. Like Flarum or Discourse instead of Lemmy. And I think the statistics pages pull the user numbers directly from the instances(?) so a more defederated instance might show up in the statistics anyways.

    Heh, I upgraded from 0.19.5 to 0.19.8 today just to see this.

    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).

    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.

    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
