And it’s been nine days since we learned 0.19.1 didn’t fix the problem. There’s a lesson to be learned here: don’t push a massive update close to the holidays because, ya know, you might break federation and go on vacation for a week+.

Unless there is some thing inherent to how Rust runs tests, the test script seems be mostly integration tests exercising the API. There does not seem to be unit tests which would be the first thing you’d need to have to test like the function that seems to be the source of the bug. (Hint, if your test suite needs to have a running db, you are not unit testing.)
As for OAuth vs LDAP: both could be used as part of a Single Sign-On solution, but the actual use cases are completely different. Having LDAP authentication would allow, e.g., to let users authenticate to Lemmy using an intranet account or (in the case of Communick) customers could use the same credentials for their Mastodon or Matrix accounts.
Sounds like you are looking at the api tests then. There are also unit tests which you can run with
./scripts/test.sh. The database is a fundamental part of Lemmy, so its obviously required for many of the unit tests. It may be possible to mock the db, but that would be a lot of effort for very little benefit, and might even introduce additional bugs.
