You can set those chats to 'low priority' in element I do have them set as such, but the android version of element doesn't take priority into account while sorting chats. Is there any way to leave a chat via mautrix but to remain in the underlying whatsapp group? Would this be the default behaviour when leaving a group? | 23:03:42 |

But afaik when a new message is sent in the room youll join it again | 23:04:51 |
| Seán | thanks for the info, Dyo. Does that mean there's no way to leave whatsapp groups from within mautrix? | 23:10:29 |
| Dyo 🚐 | As far as I know you cant leave a whatsapp group through the bridge | 23:11:29 |

thanks for the info, Dyo. Does that mean there's no way to leave whatsapp groups from within mautrix? leaving the matrix room will leave on whstsapp by default | 23:11:39 |
| tulir | not bridging specific chats isn't supported | 23:12:04 |
| tulir | leaving the matrix room will leave on whatsapp by default | 23:12:40 |
| Seán | Okay, thanks for the info, tulir, that confirms my fear | 23:12:43 |
| Seán | Out of curiousity, has anyone here ever toyed around with making a private fork of mautrix with personal features added. I'm considering doing this as i like the idea of excluding some chats from the bridge, and i also posted here a while back that i'd love an option to throttle some chats, e.g. an option to only receice messages from a particular chat at certain times of the day | 23:15:53 |

| XL☑ | Hi all. I'm currently experimenting with the WhatsApp Bridge (0.10.0) and double puppeting. When I use "login-matrix <access token>" my matrix account replaces the WhatsApp Bridge accoun in all DM chats and hence allows me (as Admin) to invite other matrix accounts. But double puppeting does not work for portal rooms which have been created for WhatsApp groups, i. e. the WA-Bot stays Admin and I can't invite other Matrix Accounts. Is thsi by intention or a known issue? | 02:44:21 |

https://docs.mau.fi/bridges/general/relay-mode.html As far as I understand "relay mode" is kinda the next step on my journey to link WhatsApp with Matrix (multipel matrix users), i. e. it allows messages from other matrix users to be relayed TO WhatsApp using my relay account. But first I need to be able to invite them to the chat/portal room which I cant unless I'm an Admin. | 02:56:19 |

| XL☑ | Running !wa set-pl 100 in a portal room created for a WhatsApp Group returns * That command is limited to bridge administrators.* | 03:00:34 |

| TLH | oh, then I suppose you haven't made your user an administrator | 03:01:09 |
| XL☑ | How do I do this? | 03:01:28 |
| TLH | go to the config.yaml for your bridge, and edit the permissions key so that your user is admin | 03:04:19 |

How do I do this? there might be a better way to do it than what I just mentioned, but that's what works for me | 03:04:53 |
| TLH | * there might be a better way to do it than what I just mentioned, but this is what works for me | 03:05:02 |
| XL☑ | ok, that requires me to run the server/bridge myself. | 03:05:06 |
| TLH | oh yes, you can't be an admin otherwise | 03:05:21 |
| TLH | you shouldn't be able to use the appservice API at all if you down own the homeserver actually | 03:06:04 |
| XL☑ | I was going to do this anyway, but I was hoping I could do my PoC on matrix.im (where I have my accounst at the moment) | 03:06:49 |
| XL☑ | Intrerestingly my Account becomes an Admin in all DM chat rooms (portals) as soon as I enable double puppeting using the login-matrix command. But -- as I said -- it does not work on portal roosm for whatsapp groups. | 03:08:30 |
