regression - 4.0 update broke space-restrictive room joinability

Thanks for feedback. i got you. Room shown as private in space lobby will be fixed with synapse MR element-hq/synapse#17194

the other issue of room appearing in home is Cinny's issue.

When you left the room, were you the only member of it?

[williamkray]

no, i invited a bot i control as well... so if it were critical, i could use the bot to re-invite myself. but this wasn't necessary for this testing. the room continues to exist and have users in it, though, if that's what you're asking.

[ajbura]

from the icon it looks like it's join rules are private

[ajbura]

what is the homeserver of your account? just wanna to make sure it's not element-hq/synapse#17143

[williamkray]

homeservers affected are mssj.me and jobmachine.org.

another room that is affected in element, vs cinny:

element space room list shows the room:

(strangly the "Join" button disappears when i take a screenshot, but there's a big green "Join" button there)

element screenshot showing the room join rules (as seen from another account with access to the room):

cinny space lobby shows:

another real life example: i'm apparently not in one of the rooms in the Cinny space, but i cannot join it.

Could you please try joining your room which is shown as private by copying it's room_id via "Home" > "Join with Address", it looks like to me as a server side issue (element-hq/synapse#17143).

the one private room in cinny space is actually a private room.

the one private room in cinny space is actually a private room.

ok, well i just replicated the behavior with the Announcements room, which is not a private room:

and then after i left it:

i was indeed able to rejoin the announcements room with the room ID, however, now it shows up under the Home category.

if i navigate back to the Cinny space lobby, i can see the room description, and click the arrow to go to the room, but it shows me a landing page:

and then clicking that button takes me back to the view of the room in the Home pane.

i should clarify that for me, the Cinny space is a sub-space of a broader personal space i've created for matrix rooms.
