We just deployed the latest version of Lemmy 0.19.2 where the github code includes a possible fix for the outgoing federation issues we have been having.
But lets see before we celebrate. Help us test if outgoing federation seems to work now by making comments, posts and upvotes and see if they appear on other instances.
Of course if the other instances are on Lemmy 0.19.0 or 0.19.1, they could have issues with outgoing federation still until they update.

Mmm yeah that’s tricky. Do all lemmy updates break compatibility with the database? (assuming that’s why a backup restoration would have been required)
No its the first time they specifically said there was a db update in the 0.19.0 upgrade and it took quite some time to complete too. 30 minutes or so of downtime.
Anyway, feels like we are finally past the problems… Things seems to work normally again now.
