For [archive.matrix.org](https://archive.matrix.org/), you can ban the
|
||||||
|
`@archive:matrix.org` user if you don't want your room content to be shown in the
|
||||||
|
archive at all.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
## Why does the archive user join rooms instead of browsing them as a guest?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Guests require `m.room.guest_access` to access a room. Most public rooms do not allow
|
||||||
|
guests because even the `public_chat` preset when creating a room does not allow guest
|
||||||
|
access. Not being able to view most public rooms is the major blocker on being able to
|
||||||
|
use guest access. The idea is if I can view the messages from a Matrix client as a
|
||||||
|
random user, I should also be able to see the messages in the archive.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keep in mind that only rooms with history visibility set to `world_readable` are
|
||||||
|
indexable by search engines. The Matrix Public Archive doesn't hold onto any data (it's
|
||||||
|
stateless) and requests the messages from the homeserver every time. The
|
||||||
|
[archive.matrix.org](https://archive.matrix.org/) instance has some caching in place, 5
|
||||||
|
minutes for the current day, and 2 days for past content.
