#matrixadmin — Public Fediverse posts

Edit: We’re using Synapse with the Element front-end if that matters.

Edit: A restart didn’t work.

Hey fedi friends! My friend group has started a private Matrix instance and we’re wondering how emoticons and stickers work. I didn’t do the set up myself.

We’ve created a Space, and several Groups within that space. I’ve gone into the Space’s Settings, then into the Emoji Settings and uploaded some. Toggle global usage is turned on, and each is set as both an emoji and a sticker.

The issue we’re having is only I seem to be able to use them.

Help? #MatrixAdmin

Got a question to the Matrix users here. For a community project we have a Matrix room at Matrix.org with many orphaned users. Is it somehow possible to kick users which are idle for a certain amount of time to clean that up?

its not nice to publicly question moderation teams and directly jumping on #fediblock hashtags before even properly reporting the offending user or at least giving us the chance to react. same for direct messages: opening statement with implied threat to defederate due to a single user …its just not cool.

this is not solely about one specific recent case, it simply happens from time to time and i am quite tired of it.

I'm pouring out a drink for the administrators of the Matrix.org homeserver who are looking to be in for a rough night after major database corruption. Best of luck with the restore, it'll probably be their longest outage for many years.
This does highlight the issues with federated platforms where a large majority stay on one server. Had more people been encouraged to spread out onto other (unaffected) servers, the impact would be far less.

Matrix room admins & server operators should probably note that a server upgrade and a room upgrade to v12 will essentially be required next Tuesday: https://matrix.org/blog/2025/07/security-predisclosure/ 👀

Riot has a cool new option for room admins called "Remove recent messages" on user profiles to remove messages from those pesky spambots.

Usually, kicking a user gives you the option to remove their recent messages too. But in case of IRC spambots bridged to Matrix channels, kicking or banning those temporary users is pointless. This feature is useful in such cases.
