The convention in many Rust projects is usually that before 1.0, the patch version behaves like the minor version and the minor version behaves like a major version. So once there are breaking changes, they go to 0.20.0.

This is correct, and we've been following this for lemmy too.

This is the case with a lot of apps that follow SemVer, even though it's not an official part of the spec. It's not specific to Rust.

The other common thing I see is that if it's been at 0.x for a long time, the minor version number eventually gets "promoted" to a major version number once the app is stable. For example, React went from 0.14.x to 15.0.0.
