Can We Upgrade Versions Please?

19.11 is definitely one of the best lemmy updates as it fixes moderation and allows vote checking.

I thought those things were there prior to 0.19.11?
Edit: Sorry, mods viewing votes is new in .11, previously only Admins could do that.
- Vote checking in the default UI is new to .11, on previous versions mods had to use Tesseract
- There's a new donation dialog box also included in this patch. The new features are pretty minor though.

Me when I see the instance I joined a year ago and am barely involved with being praised.

I just joined the 0.9.11 gang today!

0.18.4 is old, wonder whether some federation issues are present because of that.

Last I checked, Beehaw wanted to switch platforms entirely, so tgey don't bother keeping up with Lemmy updates.
- That's what I heard at well, I'm surprised it's still pending though
Beehaw seems kind of big on intentionally being a kind of curated garden instance, so they may welcome a certain amount of federation breaking.
Nice, Lemmings.world is keeping up with the times like Lemmy.ca 😏
Your people thank you for your service, oh glorious leader.
- Hmm, I might add this to the rules: always address the main admin as "glorious leader."
  Thanks for the idea!

Beehaw's been holding back because they want to switch to Sublinks, and going past 0.18.4 would've made migration harder. But Sublinks has been slow to be ready and it's getting untenable to wait much longer, so they'll be upgrading to the latest Lemmy sometime. I'll be happy to finally switch to the actual app version of Voyager when they do, for now I've been self-hosting the last version of the web app that worked.

Is the development still ongoing for sublinks?
- From what it seems? No.

Everyone knows 9.5 is more than 9.11 except devs, apparently

That's standard semantic versioning. not mathematic decimal. In case it helps to understand this, the full version is 0.19.11 which is clearly not a valid mathematical number.
ChatGPT disagrees. I asked: "Hello there I have a question. Which is bigger: 9.5 or 9.11?"
9.11 is bigger than 9.5. The number 9.11 is greater because when you compare them as decimals, 9.11 is equivalent to 9.110, which is greater than 9.5.
- My ChatGPT says:
  9.5 is bigger than 9.11.
  This can be confusing because "9.11" might look like it's greater due to the extra digit, but it's not. Think of both numbers as decimals:
  9.5 is the same as 9.50
  9.11 stays as 9.11
  Now compare: 9.50 > 9.11, just like 50 > 11 after the decimal point.
  Let me know if you want a visual or a trick to remember this!
- Who cares what it output?
- It's like pi seeming like a big number when in reality, 3.15 is bigger than pi
What? Only when you look at it as a number in its entirety. But it's actually version 9 and it's 5th / 11th iteration.

@Sunshine@lemmy.ca thanks for cursing lemmy.zip 😭

I have faith in you, you can do it! :)
Hopefully I didn't jinx the great instance 🤞

Thank you for posting about this! Didn't know 0.19.11's out :^) will try to convince db0 to update.

I’m happy to have informed you ;)
- new dbzer0 updateeeeee

@Antibiotix@jlai.lu @Banette@jlai.lu @anansi@jlai.lu @dhawos@jlai.lu @TheDude@jlai.lu @nume@lemmy.vg

Please consider updating your instances when you can.

Funnily enough you missed the top admin, @anansi@jlai.lu
- I missed the i at the end of their name 😅
It's not that I don't want to, it's just that I'd like to see if instances breaks after updates or if new bugs are introduced because the QA of lemmy is abysmal
- Lemmy has no QA, only testing in production ;)
- 19.10 has been stable for a while now, LW is using it, so it should be good enough
Huh, is TheDude on jlai the same Dude as the SJW one?
- No, different Dudes
- Could be, the SJW servers are in Quebec so he might speak French...

Please let me know if this breaks the new rule. As I have no issues with the admins involved I just wish they would upgrade their software.

Seems okay to me, but maybe Beehaw users will have another perception
- At least it's new material. The admins are very good with encouraging their users to be kind.
- This is one of the most vile, inflammatory posts I've seen from Sunshine. I can't bel-
  Nah it's all good its a funny meme
- glug glug
That's fine - you aren't having a go at the instance or it's users, and there are reasons for the way things are.
I thinks it's fine, it's not breaking the spirit of the rule.
