The server upgrade was available two days ago, and the Jerboa release was available three days ago.

So the release was pretty synchronized. It’s just that admins of various instances didn’t want to upgrade for whatever reason, so you’re left with two major releases of lemmy in the wild.

This type of thing will be messy while lemmy and Jerboa are in alpha release status. It is getting better, and there is talk about supporting multiple major releases of lemmy in Jerboa, but that’s a lot of work and nobody has yet taken ownership of that. The issues admins were complaining about are in testing, so we should hopefully see more adoption soon.

So yeah, it’s frustrating, but at least there’s a mechanism for downgrading if needed. I sincerely hope things are much more smooth for the next release.
