Cerulean does not support Synapse (which matrix.org runs) because it doesn't support some of the MSC implementations used (as seen in the wiki). You'll either have to use dendrite.matrix.org, or run your own Dendrite server with the MSCs enabled in the config.

@Kegsay do you want to keep this issue open because the application isn't showing an error, or should this be closed?

Would be nice to see a message like:

Your homeserver matrix.org doesn't support XYZ.

kegsay commented 3 years ago

Yes, the bug here is that we should display this coherently to the user that it no worky.

Half-Shot commented 3 years ago

Relatedly we could get Cerulean to determine this dynamically if Dendrite implemented https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/issues/1696

^ is the right approach here.
