  afaik those errors can’t really be solved by users. I mean other than using an up to date client and server.

    If users cannot do anything because all encryption keys are lost, then they need to know that and also how to avoid the situation in the future.

    I think it’s not a bug. It’s simply no one online who can share a decryption key.

      its often a bug, because the clients who have the keys don’t know they should retry sending.

      but also it’s all been fixed a year ago as I know. I don’t usually use dm rooms and public ones are not encrypted, so I wouldn’t know if I didn’t read about it.

      Matrix encryption keys don’t need other people online - they get queued up as messages for each device you have.

        Key sharing When an event cannot be decrypted due to missing keys, a client may want to request them from other clients which may have them.
