It would be more useful to see metrics weighted per active user it's trivial to update a server if it's just for yourself, and likewise it's easy to let it lag a few versions behind.

What's more relevant is the version number the large instances are running

You can filter https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy by monthly active users.

lemmy.ml, hexbear and Lemmy dbzer0 are the only ones in the top 10 to run 0.19.8
discuss.tchncs.de, lemmy.zip and sopuli.xyz, infosec.pub are in the top 20 and run 0.19.8 as well

Note: 0.19.6 and 0.19.7 had an issue with pictures thumbnails, which is why quite a few instances kept running 0.19.5

The elephant in the room is obviously LW which hosts around a third of the monthly active users but still run 0.19.3

A month ago someone asked about this on [email protected], for people interested: https://lemmy.world/post/22173840

Edit: added hexbear, discuss.tchncs.de and infosec.pub which just updated

we'll try to get the post out the coming week, at this time we're roughly looking at updating late January.
