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.

    At the bottom of every lemmy page you can see the server version and UI version used by the instance. On the github releases page you can follow the server releases. For the UI there aren’t releases, but the versions are tagged so you can follow that. Hope this helps!

    Another way you can check is using FediDB. Just search the server you are curious about and it will tell you the software and its version. Also a good way to see other interesting stats about the instance.
