Element app updating backwards on Debian 12 KDE?

This might be a real stupid question but why is discover updating to a lower version? Is there any place I can read up why this is the case?

P.S.: Yes, I could have absolutely google this but lemmy is about more than just shitposts and memes imo. Asking some rather noobish questions will make us appear on google btw.

  • edit: turns out I'm wrong. google does index lemmy pages. it's just not easy to find them through google

    I dont think its possible to find any lemmy posts through Google

    • Honestly a shame. R*ddit is full of helpful information, as is Lemmy, but the latter is not indexed.

      • I just tried searching "element lemmy" and got the article Lemmy: Fans call for periodic table element to be named after Motörhead frontman

        Whereas "element reddit" gives /r/elementchat/

        Lemmy is indexed on Google as using the site: operator will show, e.g. "rust site:programming.dev" gives sensible results, but there's not a way to search across Lemmy. Well, not with Google anyway (Kagi has a Fediverse lens that works fairly well).

        • I couldn't find it in my comment history, but I saw a thread months ago where someone was lamenting migrating from reddit where they used to just google "episode ### discussion" for the show they're watching and would find a corresponding reddit thread, but the same thing wasn't working for them with Lemmy. Someone else pointed out that it might be because Google personalises some of the search results now, so I tried their example query and the top link was to the post I was commenting on. It had already indexed to the most relevant result about an hour after the original post

    • Nah, we already are on google but it depends on a lot of factors. A lemmy frontend is just another webpage so google will crawl it if you allow it. So if an instance disallows it specifically or has incorrect/unfamiliar sitemap it might not work.
