Question about spaces and room visibility (lemmy.world)

Mainly, I'm not sure if this works as such.

If I create a private space, that by default only can be shared to people, what about the rooms therein? If I set a room to public, is that room available for anyone on matrix to find OR is it limited to only space members?

I feel it's the latter but I would like to know for sure.

When you create a room within a space, you have these options:

A room that is public to anyone that is out there
A room that is public to anyone whose already in the space
An invite only room

Maybe because I'm running dendrite?

When I create a new room it only has private and public.

Potentially, I'm unfortunately not super familiar with the other homeserver implementations - but I do know that some features aren't implemented yet.

If you're using Element and don't see that option, then its likely an issue / missing feature implementation with Dendrite (and if you're not using Element, try logging in via Element and see if the option appears there).

Yeah that must be it because I've been using Element and Schildichat to test.

Thanks for all the help! I will see if I wanna keep running dendrite or switch to synapse (prefer dendrite but we'll see.)
