Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Try to link to a space in a room, by typing "#techlore:techlore.net" in the chat
  2. The suggestion for the space, or any other space do not show up, whether I am in the room or not
  3. Also, even if I click on one of the options, it isn't displaying in the same formatted way as it would if typed from desktop.

Outcome

What did you expect?

  • Linking to a room or space should work the same on desktop and android.
  • When linking to a room or space, it should be formatted properly, as it is on desktop, instead of simply having plain text.
  • Starting to type out the link with "#" should display all joined spaces and links as suggestions

What happened instead?

  • Spaces and rooms that I am in are not shown in suggestions.
  • Some rooms that I am no longer in are shown in suggestions.
  • Any rooms or spaces that I link to are not formatted properly as they are when typed from desktop.
