Time of the issue

08:49-12:31

Anything else?

IRC -> Matrix hasn't worked at all.

I connected them at around 08:49 UTC and as of 12:32 UTC it still hasn't worked.

But Matrix -> IRC works fine.

To explain it more clearly if I send a message in my Matrix room it will appear in the IRC channel, but if I send a message in the IRC channel it won't appear in my Matrix room.

Since your room is world-readable anyway, you can disable the privacy filter: https://matrix-org.github.io/matrix-appservice-irc/latest/room_configuration.html#allowunconnectedmatrixusers

How would I do that?

[progval]

You need to set allowUnconnectedMatrixUsers: true using the instructions higher on the page I linked

[Jaoheah]

Would it be like this? I don't have any experience with JSON formatting.

{
  "content": {
    "blocked": true
  },
  "allowUnconnectedMatrixUsers": true,
  "event_id": "$fdHPXI2YF4KhXHpnnwk5WIP_Q6P12mMl-jS9hTGBQpM",
  "origin_server_ts": 1691052497901,

  "sender": "@appservice:libera.chat",
  "state_key": "irc.libera.chat #blendos",
  "type": "org.matrix.appservice-irc.connection",
  "unsigned": {},
  "user_id": "@appservice:libera.chat"
}

or would it be like this?

{
  "content": {
    "blocked": true,
    "allowUnconnectedMatrixUsers": true
  },
  "event_id": "$fdHPXI2YF4KhXHpnnwk5WIP_Q6P12mMl-jS9hTGBQpM",

  "state_key": "irc.libera.chat #blendos",
  "type": "org.matrix.appservice-irc.connection",
  "unsigned": {},
  "user_id": "@appservice:libera.chat"
}

Or would it be something entirely different?

[progval]

You are confusing org.matrix.appservice-irc.config (the event you have to set to configure the room) with org.matrix.appservice-irc.connection (the event the appservice sets to notify you of the status of the room).

You should only set this: {"allowUnconnectedMatrixUsers": true}, as the org.matrix.appservice-irc.config state.

@Jaoheah Note that it's a workaround, and someone's Matrix puppet is not connecting to IRC, so their messages are going to be dropped as well
