Look at how it had to be done with Minecraft. They've written a completely new version of it to allow PC (Windows 10 only as far as I know) Xbox, phone/tablet users and now Nintendo Switch players to play online together, Sony refused to get involved. It had to be completely reworked as seen here and set up to run equally across all platforms including the least powerful which in Minecrafts case would be the phone/tablet users and in Farm Sims case would be console users (and no I'm not bashing consoles, I'm console only myself). Any cross platform version of Farming Simulator would also require the availability of the same mods for everyone and for that reason alone it just can't happen.

Why not? I'm able to join FS19 multiplayer sessions from my PS4, and play with my friends.

I’m very confused by this as well since me and a buddy play this together almost nightly on PS4

In my experience, if you attempt to restrict your multiplayer game on PS4 to “friends only” when creating it, your PS4 friends cannot join or even see the game. The only way we were ever able to play is by me creating a public game and then hoping my friend could find it in the list and join before someone else did.

I'm on PS5. I always launch my FS19 multiplayer as "friends only" (I usually select "International" as the server), my Playstation friends that are on either PS4 or PS5 (be they here in the USA, or in EU or UK) don't have any problem joining. All they ever have to do is select my name on their Playstation "friends list" and click on "Join session", their game launches, they're in. Couldn't be easier.
Honestly, to join a friend's game, don't waste your time in the in-game multiplayer browser.
