In my case, yes.

Just switching FSE from develop to stable required me to jump through some DB migration hoops.

I don't know that you can jump databases from soybox to Pleroma directly: there are gonna be dups that are named differently, there are going to be other conflicts. Usually, the easiest way to do this is hop domains, but the "correct" way to do it would be to revert all of the migrations that happened before the fork, then switch codebases, then run the new migrations. In theory, they'll all apply cleanly, but it is often not the case, since the older databases tend to be the bigger ones and this means they're much harder to test. (FSE's 500 gigs, there are migrations that would take actual days.)
