Yeah. And, it’s actually even worse because the URL that actually should be used is `https://matrix.to/#/#home-automation:fedoraproject.org?web-instance[element.io]=chat.fedoraproject.org`, which Matrix does not currently conveniently provide anywhere.

Plus, I’d like to be able to change it if, for example, the domain name changes, or their wacky parameters change, without going back and updating all of the links.
