 Consider the following models:

 {{{
 class Game(models.Model):

     participants = models.ManyToManyField(
         to='card_users.UserProfile',
         related_name='card_games',
         through='cardgame.GameThroughModel',
     )


 class GameThroughModel(models.Model):

     game = models.ForeignKey(
         to='card_game.Game',
         on_delete=models.CASCADE,
     )
     participant = models.ForeignKey(
         to='card_users.UserProfile',
         on_delete=models.CASCADE,
     )


 class UserProfile(models.Model):
     user = models.OneToOneField(
         to=settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
         on_delete=models.CASCADE,
         related_name='profile',
     )
 }}}

 I have a receiver set up to perform further actions when new participants
 are added using m2m_changed:

 {{{
 @receiver(m2m_changed, sender=Game.participants.through,
 dispatch_uid='create_initial_round', weak=False)
 def create_initial_round(sender, instance, action, **kwargs):
     print(f"{sender}, {instance}, {action}")
 }}}

 The m2m_changed signal is not received. When a standard manytomany model
 relation is used ie.:
 {{{
 class Game(models.Model):

     participants = models.ManyToManyField(
         to='card_users.UserProfile',
         related_name='card_games',
     )
 }}}
 the signal is received correctly.
