Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. Click on a matrix.to room that consists of an alias to a space (like https://matrix.to/#/#something:homeserver.tld). **This has to be a space you are not in.**
### Outcome
#### What did you expect?
I can see the list of rooms in the space (or otherwise confirmation that I am now in the space)
#### What happened instead?
I am taken to this weird chat and not to the list of rooms

Being taken to the space-room timeline is extra confusing if you don't know the details about why it even exists.
Note: in the [spec](https://spec.matrix.org/v1.7/client-server-api/) it says:
> clients are not generally expected to have a way to render the timeline of the room
