> Update: we have created the channel #gfx-wr-glitch on Matrix

Funnily, this alias is incomplete and therefore not enough to join. A room ID might have been enough, but just an alias without a server part is worthless, a bit like someone left an e-mail adress as gfx-wr-glitch@, without specifying the rest.

I've successfully joined trough #gfx-wr-glitch:mozilla.org, (roomid is !qaAtjMWizEgMcVSbNH:mozilla.org, no alias on matrix.org) and told them so.

Edit: they fixed it. I wonder how often that happens with those new to Matrix?



I don't think that's a "new to Matrix" thing.

They run their own server, just like they ran their own IRC server before, and at first didn't really consider the need to make that explicit. I doubt there was any misunderstanding of the tech, or that the channel names are per-server.
