Some of the larger instances have updated already. It’s beautiful to see.
I’m surprised that there are still instances out there running 0.18.2-rc2 or 0.17.0. Those versions are full of bugs and miss so many features.
I just made it 62.
Just updated :) The broken “feature in local” function made me paranoid and I’m glad it fixed now.
My bad
did it before my smoke break
WordPress has automatic updates for core, plugins and themes. I’ve never had any problems with it, running a very basic WordPress site. Would something like that be possible for Lemmy?
I doubt it tbh. A static wordpress site is infinitely less complex than something that constantly needs to take in and distribute content from/to thousands of endpoints with potentially many different api versions on the other side.
Im not that deep into activitypub stuff but from my understanding, automatic updates are not really a good idea in this case.
Federation doesnt have many breaking changes anymore. The bigger problem is if a database migration goes wrong, then there should be an admin around to fix it manually. Im sure Wordpress has the resources for much more thorough testing so these things dont happen.

Do you know what “figure of speech” means?

Fair enough. It was kind of an exaggeration i guess.
Yes, I could easily configure our Podman containers to auto-update, but given how there have been significant breaking bugs in Lemmy releases before, I think it’s better to not automate it.
yoo i’m on the list
I’ll probably update within a week as well :)
Thanks for the post, it persuaded me to get off my bottom and add another one to the list.
Well done!
What’s the easiest way to pop up a server? I tried yunohost but the lemmy code is very old now.
“Easy” might just be relevant to your experience. You can follow along with the Ansible instructions, or go your own way with Docker and Docker Compose.
Both methods require a bit of work to get spun up, but it’s not too bad.
I have mine hosted on elest.io. As easy as it gets. Just choose your software enter some initial domain setup and deploy. Can’t beat it for 18 bucks a month.
