Subject: [PATCH] Add and clarify matrix workarounds.
Date: Tue, 11 Aug 2020 18:32:32 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <874kp99m8v.fsf@xndr.de> (raw)

I'm a matrix user and fiddled around with the room there a bit. My
findings were that the room itself seems to be fine, but the pretty
alias is broken in some way that I don't understand. I came up with two
ways to join the room via the internal ID and I also took the liberty to
modify the old workaround a little and made it more precise.
