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?
You must log in or # to comment.
At the bottom of the page, it says something like “BE 0.17.4”. BE means BackEnd, in this case that would be Lemmy.

When I look at all and sort by new it pushes posts down like I’m in a twitch chat with hundreds of people replying.
Someone told me the latest update makes that not happen, so that’s one way to know.
Install Jerboa on your phone. Once it stops working, that means Lemmy has been updated.
The software will get “released”. You can check this on github: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/blob/main/RELEASES.md
Each instance will update when they update. You can see your instances version by scrolling to the very bottom of a static page. It’s the number after BE:
You can check other instances by clicking instances (updated daily on each instance) or go to: https://the-federation.info/platform/73
How does that work if you install Lemmy in a docker, do I not have to manually change the docker image to the new one?
I’m trying to install Lemmy and I am confused on how to configure the docker images for starters :-)
You do have to manually change the image tag. That’s how it works.
Or you can set it to :latest tag and keep recreating the container occasionally, but that’s not recommended.
