My computer is on Catalina and hers is on Mojave, which has been the case for some time, but all of a sudden, I can't see her iMac on the network anymore and she can't see my iMac. Has Catalina suddenly become incompatible with sharing with Mojave on the network? Her iMac shows up on my Server Locations in Finder, as if it is seeing it, but it just won't connect. What's going on?

Hey there! Agree with Barney-15E! I was stuck working on a clients devices. Wouldn’t connect over file sharing, same scenario.
Although it sounds pretty basic, (I instinctively over think things sometimes to a fault), after getting stuck, as said before was sharing over SMB, Troubleshooted the network, firewall, permissions, etc.
Finally I just disabled file sharing on both, restarted both, re enabled file sharing on both again, and it worked just fine! Hope that’s the same solution for you!
Sometimes toggling file sharing off/on restores the ability to connect.
APFS volumes must be shared over SMB. AFP won't work, so change it to SMB if you've been using AFP.
Wow, that actually worked! Thank you.
I can't connect to my wife's iMac on the network anymore
