Description
Description:
title pretty self-explanatory.
Steps to reproduce:
- Camille, user on server A, creates a public chan
- Once chan is created, goes into users and click on "add a user"
- Martin, user on server B, shows in the list as Camille has already exchange in private with him.
- A message is show in the chan saying Martin has been added. Everything seems to went well.
option: 5. Camille sends a message in the chan and even mention Martin in it.
Expected behavior:
- Martin should receive a notification he got invited in the public chan
- Martin should see the the public chan on his sidebar
- In the event Camille mentionned him (option 5) he should receive a notification
- Martin is happy and can express himself with other peers
Actual behavior:
(same behavior with/without optional step 5)
- Martin doesn't receive any notification
- Martin doesn't see the chan in his sidebar
- Martin can't find the chan in the repertory as it lists only local public channels
- Martin can't join the public chan, he feels excluded and he's sad

Research direction
Reproduce the issue with two federated Rocket.Chat 3.8.1 servers using the stated Docker/Kubernetes, Node.js, and MongoDB setup. Trace the invitation, notification, sidebar visibility, directory listing, and join behavior for a public channel; done means an invited user on server B can discover, access, and receive mentions from that channel.
