[SOLVED]
This morning I found the issue reported bellow solved by itself.
I'll leave the report report just in case it comes back in the future.

END EDIT
OSes: Mint 19.2; Mint 19.3; Debian 10.2 (Buster)
Joplin:
Joplin-1.0.174-x86_64.AppImage
Joplin for Desktop
Joplin 1.0.174 (prod.linux)
Sync Version: 1
Revision: 0ca96ee(HEAD)

Since today afternoon, Joplin will not synchronize among the 4 machines I am using.
Any change I made in one of them, stays there and do not propagate. I use a star formation
where a single machine works as a hub and handles all the updates. Only the hub knows about the other machines. This configuration has been working for several months now. Today I added a new machine (Mint 19.3) and I followed the usual instructions I had used for the other machines.

The log says DecryptionWorker: cannot start because no master key is currently loaded. Nevertheless, I don't think this should be a problem since encryption has not been enabled.

Any hints?

A few other users got this problem too. How did you fix it?

I don't know. I did some retries, checked if everything was harmonic among the several machines, like encryptions (not enabled), sync delay, Joplin version. Yes, everything was compatible one with the others. When I tried to sync one more time this morning, it did work. So, for the time being, I can't help.

By the way: I am using syncthing, so I checked that too. Seemed OK too, but I know that some times (not very often) syncthing will forget some files behind for a time and then pick them up later. So I can not discard the possibility that the issue has to do with syncthing.
