- Create a federated Talk room.
- Join the room with users from both servers.
- Check the participant list.
Expected behavior
The online/offline status of all participants should be displayed, including federated users.
Actual behavior
The online status of users from the remote/federated server is not shown.
Environment

Done means online/offline status is displayed for users from both the local and remote servers without breaking local users.
