I wonder why they are still on 0.18.4. The latest Lemmy version is 0.19.5 and it has some nice features compared to 0.18.x.
Last I heard they want to switch to another platform, and don't consider it worth upgrading to 0.19 because they're leaving soon so it wouldn't be worth the hassle.
This is pure guesswork on my part, but they could be waiting for Sublinks (a Lemmy-compatible backend) to get up to speed before switching to that. They say that the new platform is "compatible with all Lemmy apps", and Sublinks is the only project I know of that fits that criteria.
There is piefed also, both projects are quite exciting to me to think about the possibilities - e.g. of introducing some competition to Lemmy.ml. :-)
