Thanks to the the amazing work of the #ngi-pointer team there is now a Rooms V2. You can find all info about that in @andrestaltz's post %qEzQaWh....

I was able to pop up a brand new Room server using the easy instructions provided on https://github.com/ssb-ngi-pointer/go-ssb-roo (I'm not using sub-sub domains though, so that won't work on my server).

For now the sign-up is open. As soon as we achieve critical mass I'll make it "community".
So go sign up while the invites last!

I figure you tried signing in after creating an account (by manually providing your @public-key). I had that too when i connected to hermies. (right now there isn't a mechanism to give yourself a password when you create a public key that way).

I'll pop you a private message with a password reset link

I'm doing some bughunting on the server, so it can be offline for a bit here and there
