 @palasso:matrix.org | * Oh I get it. I see the space as a room. The notification was that I had one unread notification in a prior version. By clicking that I could access the previous version (which is the previous space). Re-joined old space. It didn't appear to have any notification but anyway after visiting it it stopped having a notification in the new space. I was able to leave the old space the same way I left previously. Now I have no more notifications in the new space and I am not anymore in the old space. Quite counter-intuitive from a user's perspective I must say 😄 | 10:17:14 |

 Emma [it/its] | could someone fix the canonical parent space of #users:nixos.org? | 21:11:46 |

| Emma [it/its] | it still points to the old space | 21:12:13 |
 hexa | what is "the canonical parent space" | 23:33:11 |
| hexa | the room is just in both spaces, why should one be canonical? | 23:33:26 |
| Emma [it/its] | "canonical parent" is the room -> space relation | 23:33:47 |
| hexa | that is what I figured | 23:34:06 |
| hexa | but where is that relationship even defined? | 23:34:14 |
| hexa | isn't the relationship space -> room? | 23:34:23 |
 Cat | Rooms can list their parent by setting i think its m.space.parent or something as a state event. And this makes the relationship be recognised bidirectionally if the room is listed as a child by the space and the room lists the space as its parent. | 23:34:29 |
| Emma [it/its] | its m.space.parent with "canonical": true yes | 23:34:43 |
| hexa | ok, very fancy | 23:34:51 |
| Emma [it/its] | the relationship is 2 ways, can be useful | 23:35:10 |
| Emma [it/its] | in the case of nheko, allows discovering a space from a room, etc etc | 23:36:31 |
| Cat | One should remember that spaces are designed to solve like 3 or 4 primary use cases in a single system (That i know of) and therefore stuff like canonical relationships are needed due to the whole anybody can add any room to any space thing. | 23:36:35 |
| hexa | how about now? | 23:36:35 |
| hexa | anyway, not great that one has to fiddle with room state | 23:39:19 |
| Emma [it/its] | need to clear the old event out (or unset "canonical"?) | 23:39:21 |
