I set up a Cinny instance. If I link users directly to the Cinny instance it prompts them to create an account on my Matrix server but then they have to manually search for the space to join. If I grab the link directly to my space from Cinny, it links to matrix.to as an intermediary, which will prompt them to sign up with the matrix.org instance, which I DO NOT WANT. Is there no way to send an invite directly from/to my Cinny instance/space? You can only send invites via matrix.to?
Yeah so I just swapped your instance with app.element.io
https://app.element.io/#/room/#sopuli:matrix.organd it just takes me to a welcome/login page. Just like Cinny.It takes you to the room because you’re already logged in.
I am not. I normally use a desktop application, I host the web client for my users.
Are you suggesting I invented this functionality that I actively use?
Here is the same url opened in firefox on my phone, where I have never accessed my matrix account via anything other than an app.
More likely, the element.io instance disables this functionality for some reason.
I don’t know what you’re doing. That’s what I’m trying to figure out.
I’ve tried this on several Element instances that don’t work. Like this one:
https://element.catgirl.cloud/#/room/#sopuli:matrix.org
It stands for guest. It replaces the account icon that would be visible, were I logged in.
Did you try logging in?
I opened an app.element.io link to the sopuli space, and even though it goes directly to the welcome/login page, once I log in, it immediately opened to the sopuli space.
