Really a question for @[email protected], but, If the last update was a guide: new version gets released, another instance (usually lemmy.world as they have a large well-funded infrastructure) jumps on it and updates, everyone waits to see if something breaks and then most of the big instances install it.
I'd imagine, if there was a patch for a critical security loophole, then all the admins would move quickly on it but it'd also likely be quite a small patch so relatively easy to do without disrupting the business as usual.
I’m going to look to add a few more admins this week as we really should have more than one
It's a good idea because life happens (I had a friend who woke up in hospital with a fractured skull caused by eating lasagne), so I am trying to get two mods on the various communities I've started, which is hardly mission critical like the instance.
As best as he can piece together he was sorting out the evening meal and, classic dad move, was eating while dishing everything out. Took a bite of his lasagne (notoriously the hottest of all the Italian foods), fainted, banged his head on the kitchen tiles and woke up later on in hospital with a fractured skull.
