X made no changes event in timeline

[Bubu]

I sometimes see X made no changes in the timeline in riotX. Riot-desktop filters such empty state events, I guess these shouldn't be shown in the timeline except when "Show hidden events" is selected from developer settings.

This is the event in question.

Yes, I've noticed that too, and one question I have is: what the point of sending such (useless?) events? @Half-Shot, do you have an idea?

The homeserver should be no-opping a join request here. The bridge will join all rooms on startup to ensure it's joined, but it shouldn't be sending fresh join events into the room as the homeserver should be aware that the user is already in the room. Feels like a Synapse bug.

Those events are still shown in the message preview in the chat list. I guess this is probably already tracked in better message previews in general somewhere?

We will have to check again. I reopen the issue
