The process went through smoothly. I have also used the opportunity to split up a singular lemmy container into individual tasks - this has enabled a seemless upgrade process with no downtime, bar a few process quirks I need to work out.
There have been some federation fixes merged into this release, so the situation should definitely be improving overall!
I will make a more detailed write up of the whole setup later on, other admins might find it useful. Or not.
Thanks!
Seems restarting the server is the only way to make federation work at the moment.
Try enabling debug log for federation - helped for me. Phiresky guessed it’s due to federation queries slowing down enough to not get stuck.
