Ability to backfill rooms that I am unable to post to

Open anoadragon453 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

I joined a Telegram announcements channel which contained files that I wanted to download.

After joining it from Matrix, I realised that none of the messages were backfilled, and I couldn't use the backfill command in the room as I wasn't allowed to post to the room.

Is it possible to extend the backfill command to provide a room ID, or is there some other mechanism that could handle this usecase?

You can enable automatic backfilling in the config

I'll set that for now, thanks :)
