Some instances like lemmy.world values stability over bleeding edge, and 0.19.3 has been stable for them. They do plan to upgrade to something newer eventually, it’s just that every migration carries a risk of something going wrong.
I remember we had some version a year ago (was it 0.18?) that made the whole lemmyverse unreliable. Federation was completely fucked, inage upload was buggy… some instances needed weeks for repairing the damage.

Yeah I used to upgrade immediately but there were always just a few bugs. Now I wait a couple months before taking the plunge
