| Fabian P. | But as the room of the event is also incorrect, I guess something is wrong with the evt object in https://github.com/mautrix/telegram/blob/2732a85f9e657baac34af554580ea6aa20959b02/mautrix_telegram/commands/portal/bridge.py#L57 | 00:20:07 |

 Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | Hello, everyone! | 00:20:35 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | Is there any way to trigger a backfill from the telegram bridge bot? I've tried !tg backfill 999 but it didn't seem to work. Our room is https://matrix.to/#/#localmonero:agoradesk.com | 00:21:14 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | We have a lot of message history, but so far the bot only backfilled around a week's worth. | 00:21:56 |
 tulir | backfilling currently only supports sending messages after the most recently bridged message, so the room has to be empty if you want old messages | 00:23:21 |

| tulir | it might also try to check non-existent rooms if you deleted a previous portal room on the synapse side | 00:26:02 |
| tulir | you need to be bridge admin (in the config) to bypass the room power level checks | 00:26:11 |

| Fabian P. | thanks, you just saved me a lot of hassle | 00:27:06 |

backfilling currently only supports sending messages after the most recently bridged message, so the room has to be empty if you want old messages You're saying we need to create a new room and unbridge the old room and bridge the new room? Because we created that room and bridged it and it didn't backfill 4 years worth of messages. | 00:34:27 |

Is there any way to trigger a backfill from the telegram bridge bot? I've tried !tg backfill 999 but it didn't seem to work. Our room is https://matrix.to/#/#localmonero:agoradesk.com do you have a backfill limit configured? | 00:36:33 |

you need to be bridge admin (in the config) to bypass the room power level checks I can now bridge the room
But when I do not receive messages and when I use !tg config view I get that this room is not a portal, my guess is still on the telegram bot looking at the wrong matrix room | 00:51:30 |

do you have a backfill limit configured? No, didn't have it configured. If we configure it now and restart the server, will the bot backfill or will we have to unbridge the room and bridge it again? | 00:59:22 |
| Fabian P. | In reply to @alex:agoradesk.com
No, didn't have it configured. If we configure it now and restart the server, will the bot backfill or will we have to unbridge the room and bridge it again? I'd try recreating personally | 01:05:09 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | In reply to @telegram_281492116:maunium.net
I'd try recreating personally So, we're interested in changing initial_limit and missed_limit to -1, correct? | 01:05:58 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | And what about takeout_limit? What does using a takeout mean? | 01:07:06 |
| Fabian P. | In reply to @alex:agoradesk.com
So, we're interested in changing initial_limit and missed_limit to -1, correct? I'm currently struggeling with getting the bridge to work myself, that was just a wild guess having read thw config, might need to wait for someone with more insight | 01:09:03 |
|  Yannick joined the room. | 01:44:24 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | Is it possible to set the backfill config on a per-room basis? I.e. !tg config set backfill.initial_limit -1 | 01:56:54 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | Tried that, then did !tg sync, didn't work. Also tried !tg backfill 999 didn't work either. | 02:12:10 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | Setting it into the default config would put too much strain on the bridge bot. We just want to backfill rooms with messages from our own Telegram groups, we don't want to have the bot backfill the entire history of all the groups our logged in telegram accounts are members of. | 02:13:16 |
| Alex | LocalMonero | AgoraDesk | So, what we have is 4 telegram groups with, like, 4 years of chat history. We've created 4 matrix rooms, did !tg bridge to all of them, and what we is to backfill them and them only with all the message history. We've tried !tg backfill, and !tg config set backfill.initial_limit -1 and then !tg sync chats and !tg backfill 999 and nothing works. | 02:15:14 |
