Does the IRC bridge work reliably for you? I tried experimenting with Matrix today, I could make it to join #freenode_#xmonad:matrix.org but any message I sent didn't go through to the IRC side. When I then joined #irc:matrix.org it seems several other people were reporting this not working lately. To make this experience even less amusing, I then tried to join #xmonad:matrix.org, assuming it's the matrix equivalent of #xmonad on freenode, but it just said I'm not invited and that was it. Can't say I'm impressed. :-(

The IRC bridge has worked reliably for me so far. My messages from Matrix get delivered to Freenode IRC channel without any problems, so far. The settings of #xmonad:matrix.org show that they allow only invited users to access their room. Here is a screenshot of their room settings: https://i.imgur.com/vxap6wY.png https://i.imgur.com/vxap6wY.png . This is a little weird indeed. However, there are other plenty of other rooms that do not require invitation to join.

  It seems only #xmonad on freenode is affected, so I've been asked by @matrixdotorg to report an issue and I'll do that asap. Also, #xmonad:matrix.org being invite only seems to be another bug. I contacted the room admin who sent me a similar screenshot as you did, showing that the room is _not_ set to invite-only, and they had to upgrade the room version from 1 to 6 to fix it. I can now join the room. I have to say this has been a very frustrating experience. In addition to these two problems with #xmonad, I also suffer from https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248 https://github.com/poljar/weechat-matrix/issues/248, https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/812 https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack/issues/812. I am afraid the takeaway is that Matrix is not ready yet. :-/
