MODERATORS
You’re using an instance that has a large chunk of the fediverse blocked and hasn’t even updated to the latest version.
Legit ignorant here, why does the version matter?
Probably missing features and less stable. I remember reading something about that in a patch notes post a couple days after the reddit debacle.
That wouldn't prevent them from seeing content though - the defederation part is the important part.
Mainly because of bug fixes and new features like any other piece of software. The one they’re on was failing to federate mod actions properly, but they probably don’t care about that anyway.
Hey, I run my own instance and periodically forget to check if I'm running an out of date version. Would you happen to know if there is any 'version out of date' indication that I've failed to pick up on? Or do I just need to manually check? Or can I get new version notifications by email?
No need to go Google it, I'll make time to search myself eventually -- but if you happen to know, you'd save me some time.
Best to follow the GitHub.
Good to see you're still around!
Yeah I even have... plans.
I've got some circuit boards for a particle spectrometer off at the factory. When they come in, it will probably be the first nuclear technology integration with Lemmy. Probably also the last, but if the user count keeps increasing, who knows!
Particle spectrometers make very good random number generators, and I have a Lemmy bot on my instance that does I-Ching divination that uses an inferior random number source (diode breakdown). I need a particle spectrometer for some science anyway, and it doesn't really cost more to make 2. How could I not, right?
