How do I make this work for lemmy.world? I replaced lemmy.ml with lemmy.world and it loads, but there's no content. I can click on the headings at the top, but Local, and Subscribed won't populate. I know it should work with lemmy.world because that was used in the example shot on the github.

As a server owner, not really. My friends and I like certain mods, so we usually wait until ALL of those mods are updated before moving versions (we're just now working on updating from 1.18.2-1.19.2). Plus our normal motivation for updating is whether our favorite mods have added new content we'd like play with (Ars Nouveau is one of these).

It'll probably be a year or two minimum before we start looking seriously at 1.20.

I suppose that's one of the biggest drawbacks to modded Minecraft. Back in the 1.7.10 era MC updates were SLOW, so mod authors had time to build and perfect big mods. Nowadays bigger mods may skip a whole version or two on their way to updating, and be behind once they get done. Minecraft updates faster than big mod authors can code.

Me and the server I run use a custom modpack for 1.18.2, but will probably be switching to 1.19.2 here in a few weeks, since most of the mods we like have updated to that version now.

Bonus answer: Create is still big, and getting bigger soon. Lots of good addons for it now, with a couple of really big ones set to drop sometime this summer (hopefully). If you played Create: Above and Beyond for 1.16.5 you should check out Create: Back on Track for 1.18.2, or Create: Stellar for 1.19.2.

My first thought was "What person is brave/stupid enough to post a different version of FORGE‽"

Then I seen your username.

Ah yes, Warriors of the Wind. That was the version that made me fall in love with Studio Ghibli, and after finally watching Nausicaä in my twenties I became a lifelong fan.
