Search Active Matrix Rooms from inside your Matrix app

Cinny, just for you

1. Sign in to Cinny, then open the link on this page and bookmark it.
2. Or open Explore Community, click Add Server, type the server name, and press Enter.

Open in Cinny

Press Enter in the Server Name field. Cinny's View button removes the form while it is still submitting, so Chrome logs "Form submission canceled because the form is not connected" and the room list stays on its loading placeholders. Reload the link above if that happens. Cinny does not remember added servers, so keep the bookmark.

Cinny, for everyone on your instance

1. Open the Cinny config.json for your instance.
2. Add "activematrixrooms.com" to featuredCommunities.servers.
3. If that block already exists, add the name inside it. This merges into the existing block. It does not replace it.
4. Restart or redeploy Cinny so every user sees the server in Explore.

{
  "featuredCommunities": {
    "servers": ["activematrixrooms.com"]
  }
}

etke.cc and matrix-docker-ansible-deploy: set matrix_client_cinny_config_featuredCommunities_servers.

Element Web and Desktop

1. Click Search (Ctrl+K) at the top left.
2. Scroll down and open Public rooms.
3. Under the search box, open the server selector labeled "Show:".
4. Click Add new server…
5. Enter activematrixrooms.com and click Add.

"room_directory": {
  "servers": ["activematrixrooms.com"]
}

Add it in Public rooms, not in the sign-in homeserver box. Element remembers the server after you add it. etke.cc and matrix-docker-ansible-deploy: set matrix_client_element_room_directory_servers.
