I have no idea what's going on; that's something to address with ubuntu
and the snap people.   My recommendation is to use the command line :-)

You can install versions with the same ocaml version, yes, but it seems
you are doing this by installing very old code.    When doing so, you're
more or less on your own.

The newer versions use a protocol that does not depend on the ocaml
version.  You'll need a new version on both sides.

See https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/wiki__;!!IBzWLUs!X8sZFJBMqyiOEeGsKvyKCBM5UNok3VI8D0A84p179DQ7Fh8YOMRZ6N21QYgOmFM6KvRRruD9Y2J1g6t8_g$  and the section about the
user manual; you can dowload and read a pdf.  Even if it's somewhat out
of date, it is likely helpful.

It really depends on how the start environment is configured, so you'll
have to either start reading all the scripts/code or ask ubuntu/snap
people.  As I wrote earlier, start from the command line, so you see output.
