auto_join_rooms not working =(

[arpsyapathy]

Hi all!

In homeserver.yaml:

auto_join_rooms:
    - "#all:matrix_server"

but when users connect to the server they do not come automatically to this room :(

Possible duplicate of #2725

Did you use the built-in script or Riot to register the user? Existing users won't be affected.

Is this still an issue, or can it be closed?

I would close it and let it reopen it once people see this issue again as #2725 got closed in the meantime

I managed to make auto_join_rooms working only after I made the room public, and chose "Who can access this room?" to be "Anyone who knows the room link, including guests". I think the documentation needs to be updated to tell the public room requirement.
