Unrelated, I should probably make my own post, but in element X I can’t figure out how to join rooms.
Do you have federation turned on in your config file
I’ve never seen a config file, I just have the element x app. And use it to access a matrix.org account. I can interact with channels I’ve already joined via the Web interface on other devices. But can’t figure out how to join new ones from the phone.
To my knowledge element x isn’t feature complete. Idk if joining rooms is implemented. You could try getting the regular element client to join rooms then go back and see if they appear in element x.
I use dendrite for my private server, it doesn’t support element x due to sliding sync. I’m gonna try to spin up conduit today at some point and will get back to you when I try out element x.
Ah cool I thought it was full featured
