This should be fixed in the next update as well:
I also see some sorting issues which are still confusing me. Just a proposal: after the next release we can collect the remaining sorting issues - maybe it’s more efficient for the trouble shooters to fix these issues - some issues might be related.
This link is dead unfortunately, is there a new link to join the chat? I was a member in the beginning but lost the channel when I created a new anytype account.
Thanks!
I also want to join, but this new link also seems to have stopped working. Can you resend please?
For me, the link works as expected. Maybe try again?
Do you self host? I think that is the limitation because I can’t access the community chat since self hosting anytype, before that no issues.
Indeed, when you self-host, you’re not on the Anytype network and cannot directly interact with other Anytyper users who are not on your self-hosted network.
Just out of interest: What would the conditions be to be ‘in the network’?
Same local ip?
I’m not understanding the question. A self-hosted network is a different/separate network from the (official) Anytype Network (which all users create vaults on by default). You’re in the network when you have a vault on that network.
Hm, ok.
Ah, so I need a key of a vault located in the respective self-hosted network first before I can be invited to a chat?
Thought all you would need would be a QR.
Why is that so?
Wouldn’t it be more useful to be able to criss-cross-chat with everybody who invites me to?
Self-hosted networks are completely isolated from other networks—by design. This is what gives you the sovereignty that users typically desire.
In order for one user (of Network A) to connect with another user (of Network B), they have to create accounts in each network. Unless: there is network federation.
A federated network where Anytype users of different (self-hosted) networks can seamlessly connect with each other has always been part of the long-term vision. One major issue with this is centralisation, who controls the federated network? Hence why you see many decentralisation and web3 aspects to Anytype’s design today, even if it serves no practical purpose in current usage.
In short: yes, it’d be great for Anytype users to be able to connect with each other directly using the same vault across many different networks. The issue is on technical implementation.
Couldn’t the Lobby help here, too and act as a sort of local only meta-bridge?
Not really. The lobby you outlined is just a vault + network switcher (like a workspace switcher), that doesn’t change the fact that the underlying networks (or local-only mode) are still isolated from each other. You can’t just share a space or start a chat with another Anytype user. They’d have to still create a vault/account first. While this seems like a minor inconvenience, it isn’t when you start to think about integrations and many other things that people may setup. Yes, the lobby is a solution, but it solves for a different set of (related) problems.
Perhaps you are looking for this?
2023?!?
Ha, ha! I am really late to the party. 
Love this forum and you all guys!
So… when is this feature coming?
