Unable to join a specific room (might be related to Gitter organizations)

[PureTryOut]

I'm having problems joining a Gitter room from an organization (so it uses slashes /). I've tried the following:

• /join #gitter_openrct2/openrct2/non-dev:matrix.org
• /join #gitter_openrct2=2Fopenrct2=2Fnon-dev:matrix.org
• /join #gitter_openrct2/non-dev:matrix.org
• /join #gitter_openrct2=2Fnon-dev:matrix.org

I've also tried capitalization, but no dice.

This is the room/channel I was trying to join.

Hi,

I’ve also tried joining a matrix.org-gitter-bridge room from my own HS. It was This room.

I’ve been seeing this in my HS log:

So far, so good … but upon joining, i get:

Which seems somewhat broken to me.

By the way, as a workaround i was able to create a local room and request an integration … so that works fine for me :-).

Thanks for your efforts, and best -Dario

I can confirm that this issue still happens.

Homeserver is https://matrix.org
Identity Server is https://vector.im
matrix-react-sdk version: <local>
riot-web version: 0.13.4
olm version: 2.2.1

[astrojuanlu]

Confirmed with latest versions on matrix.org and riot.im as well.

[devnoname120]

@Juanlu001 Note that for these specific rooms you can go to #OpenRCT2_non-dev:matrix.org or #OpenRCT2:matrix.org.

Hiya, I'll just verify this.
