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.

Install Jerboa on your phone. Once it stops working, that means Lemmy has been updated.
v0.18 release had breaking changes, it won’t be true every time.
To see what version your instance is on, scroll to the very bottom of the page on web. To see what the latest released version is (that your instance may not have updated to yet), visit https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases.
Thanks!
