In matrix, the act of participating in a room means your server gets a copy of it (with as much history as you choose to pull in). Anyone can add an alias to it, including after the canonical alias has died, if necessary. The alias setting UI in element web should be ok.
- phicoh 5y agoI can't do anything with a local alias, neither on element web nor on element android. The UI shows it exists, but search doesn't return it, joining doesn't work. With element android I can publish the original name to the local directory, but that fails on element web. So it seems to be mostly a failure.
- Arathorn 5y agoOkay, it should work. Please file a bug report on Element Web & Android so we can investigate.
