That hierarchy view is built by the server /hierarchy API

HarHarLinks commented 7 months ago

Something makes the DMs appear in the list, so there is a discrepancy between just looking and using the search here.

Yes, the room list is built by the client until we switch to Sliding Sync where it'll also be built by the server, mixing the two sources wouldn't be sane and consistent.
