It seems most instances still use version 0.19.3 and the only one using the up-to-date version is lemmy.ml. They used to update relatively fast. What's changed?

They make breaking changes like that in patch releases?? Do they not follow semver?

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 33 points 3 weeks ago

Lol, yeah.

I think they plan to do semvar, but if I recall (and I may be wrong), since it's pre 1.0.0, they're "allowed" to make breaking changes since it's still in alpha.

The lemmy devs are not exactly industry developers.

Hell, they don't even respect gpdr, and one day the EU is going to wreck an instance and maybe an admin too if they didn't separate liability properly.

  1. Anything can change while major version is zero
  2. Technically, semver only tracks public API changes

Technically this is entirely within semver since it's 0.x.y.
