Description rjx_ 2024-05-19 22:55:01 UTC

SUMMARY
After joining around 10 rooms on kde.org's homeserver, i am currently unable to join any more/new ones from neochat, this worked fine from a web instance of Element however.

Reproducer:
Go to the search field (on the left) and search for something, on "no rooms found" click "Search in room directory", chose kde.org, find a room you had not joined yet, click on it once.
Neochat will show a "Joined" status, but when you return to default chat/rooms view, it will either give you an error "Failed to join room No known servers", or just silently won't join that room.

Operating System: Arch Linux

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Tested with tchncs.de homeserver.

Part of this is 491359 (the fact that the UX sucks), but I have fixed the "no known servers" one I think.

Make joining remote rooms more reliable

When joining remote rooms we have to specify another homeserver (that is in the
room) to help us join. The matrix documentation is a little unclear what to do
in this scenario, so instead of giving up let's at least brute force it with the
server in the alias or room id.

This *does* work and allows my server to join rooms in NeoChat I otherwise
couldn't.
