How to link users directly to my server space vs. matrix.to? (feddit.org)

I set up a Cinny instance. If I link users directly to the Cinny instance it prompts them to create an account on my Matrix server but then they have to manually search for the space to join. If I grab the link directly to my space from Cinny, it links to matrix.to as an intermediary, which will prompt them to sign up with the matrix.org instance, which I DO NOT WANT. Is there no way to send an invite directly from/to my Cinny instance/space? You can only send invites via matrix.to?

Are you suggesting I invented this functionality that I actively use?

I don't know what you're doing. That's what I'm trying to figure out. What is that G for in the top left of both screenshots?

More likely, the element.io instance disables this functionality for some reason.

I've tried this on several Element instances that don't work. Like this one:

It stands for guest. It replaces the account icon that would be visible, were I logged in.
