Rooms list doesn't show grandchild rooms as being in a space if you are not a member of their immediate parent subspace

[williamkray]

Description

Joining a new community (#community:matrix.org) which has many rooms I am already a member of, most of those rooms did not render properly in the Spaces panel. Exploring rooms shows that I am indeed in the room by showing me a "View" button instead of "Join". However, clicking "View" takes me back to the Home (All Spaces) space to show me the room.

Can repro on desktop. It doesn't get fixed after a restart

[SimonBrandner]

Clearing cache doesn't seem to fix this either

Ok, I don't think I can repro this with other spaces... Can someone please confirm this? Could the space be broken?

So the issue above is because that room is in a subspace and you haven't joined the subspace.
This is a known limitation until we have the /peek API to watch those not-yet-joined subspaces.

that... makes complete sense. i didn't put that together despite having already experienced that with the testing space.

@t3chguy This makes sense.
When peek is available, will that be the default behavior? showing grandchild?
Or is would that be optional?
Imo showing it be default is what I would have expected.

Product/Design hasn't investigated this yet to my knowledge so no idea.
