Option for groups to hide the members list, but still support flair

[turt2live]

Description

This is more intended for groups created for application services. It's not ideal that a group would list all 50,000 bridged users in a nice list to be spammed. Instead, the flair should be supported in rooms that opt-in, but the memberlist of the group should be hidden.

#5389 would help with this

There's API to support this when accepting a group invite, although to my knowledge it isn't possible to support this post-accept. It's supported by sending {"m.visibility": {"type": "private"}} alongside the acceptance, and calling the publicize endpoint.

The intention here is to do some for of pagination for the members.

[turt2live]

Pagination doesn't solve the privacy concern where someone may wish to have flair, but not be advertised on the group's page.

in a nice list to be spammed

is the bit I had neglected to read.

We would indeed need an API for setting the visibility after the invite has been accepted.

Closing this as the API supports the feature, however I don't have a use case for exposing it to the UI at all. If someone has feelings otherwise, please open a new issue or petition here and I'll re-open.

@turt2live
I couldn't find it. It has been requested many times (see matrix-org/matrix-spec#367) but I found no trace of it being implemented.

Can you give a pointer?

[turt2live]

In 2018 this was about the Groups/Communities feature and not Spaces. A new issue should be opened for Spaces if desired.

Ok, thanks.
