19.4 upgrade

Things like scheduled downtime, information about upgrades, or asking technical questions you'd like to know about how things are done (within reason).
I didn't twig it might be upgrade related. I tried to mod an account on 0.19.4 and it didn't federate back, and I've changed descriptions on communities on 0.19.4 and they aren't federating back either (two different instances). Seems OK with 0.19.3 so I'm making a bit of an assumption that it's the version mismatch, but I know Lemmy has had issues with federation across versions before. I can't even force it to fetch a post on lemmy.dbzer0.com which didn't federate. (https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/22446189 if you want to try - I search for it and it doesn't do anything, whereas that would normally pull it down). I checked the blocked instances on all the servers and nothing relevant is defederated as far as I can tell.
Info is much appreciated!
Normally, if we had a report like this, we'd just shuffle forwards after running it in the test environment.
Unfortunately, as there is a DB engine change, I'm expecting all hell to break loose as soon as we start, so it'll be a few days before I can put the time into it.
No worries, it's definitely better not to rush these things!
