Matrix link on homepage does not work (for me) #1865

Introduce your stance

I was looking for a chat room to bother people with my occasional Newbie questions 😀 and stumbled upon the link to https://matrix.to/#/#space:nixos.org on the footer of https://nixos.org, which was apparently introduced in #710, but stupidely clicking on that today doesn't work, for me... it says

#space:nixos.org can't be previewed. Do you want to join it? [Join the discussion]

so I click that, but then it fails with:

Failed to join - There was an error joining."

Perhaps a recent https://app.element.io UI update broke this somehow?

How do I join that room - what Matrix server is it on? Isn't that missing in the link?

I created such a link for my own project the other day (see https://docs.enola.dev/chat, just for reference) and made it https://matrix.to/#/#enola.dev:matrix.org ... should this one be something like that? (I gather you want to link to your full "space" not just a "room", but is that the right syntax? Without server name?)

Thanks!
