I've installed Dendrite (Docker) and everything went smoothly except joining rooms. When I click join I get:

com.squareup.moshi.JsonDataException: Required value 'roomid' (JSON name 'room_id') missing at $".

Github issue: https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/issues/2284#issuecomment-1072030536

Logs: https://monogr.ph/66e7726fda4107196d7f948b

Is there any known solution to this?

Edit: Got rid of Dendrite and now using Conduwuit.
