I learned that the next update will be early this week and version 18.0 is going to be skipped. But apart from users telling everyone that it has been updated, is there a way to check for yourself which version it is? Like an ‘about Lemmy’ or something?

    At the bottom of the page, it says something like “BE 0.17.4”. BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.

    my follow up question would be, how do insurance owners know when and whether they want to upgrade? like i saw chatter about 0.18 being shunned for an issue but 0.18.1 being well anticipated.

      I think ‘we’ as users don’t choose to upgrade, like we would for an app. Just like reddit can implement things. And 0.18 is not being shunned by users; the developers themselves found that implementing this version would have major security issues, if i recall correctly, so they decided to skip it and work on a fix and release that one.
