WordPress has automatic updates for core, plugins and themes. I’ve never had any problems with it, running a very basic WordPress site. Would something like that be possible for Lemmy?
I doubt it tbh. A static wordpress site is infinitely less complex than something that constantly needs to take in and distribute content from/to thousands of endpoints with potentially many different api versions on the other side.
Im not that deep into activitypub stuff but from my understanding, automatic updates are not really a good idea in this case.
Yes, I could easily configure our Podman containers to auto-update, but given how there have been significant breaking bugs in Lemmy releases before, I think it’s better to not automate it.

Do you know what “figure of speech” means?

Fair enough. It was kind of an exaggeration i guess.

And I appreciate your choice (considering a good number of communities I enjoy are on your instance).
Personally I think anything prod level should be manual updates only anyway.
