Ambiguous message: "You attempted to join using a room ID without providing a list of servers to join through." #25627

Description

@rltas

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a room.
  2. Leave the room.
  3. Try to "Join the discussion" again from "Historical".

Outcome

What did you expect?

A message telling me that the room doesn't exist / can't be found on the server.

What happened instead?

A message telling me something that confuses me:

Failed to join
You attempted to join using a room ID without providing a list of servers to join through. Room IDs are internal identifiers and cannot be used to join a room without additional information.
If you know a room address, try joining through that instead.

Additional information

In the browser console I see

POST https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/r0/join/!NVfMslxkPhhjsSXnGH%3Amatrix.org 404

Not sure if it's always been like that or only recently because maybe forget_rooms_on_leave has been enabled for matrix.org?
