Description
### Description
A few days ago I was kicked out of the neovim/neovim (gitter matrix) room because of memory constraints on my small homeserver. I fixed the homeserver memory issues and rejoined the room with one of my desktop clients. Joining succeeded and on that Element Desktop I see again a room called "neovim/neovim". Other desktop clients + the Android client do not have any meta information about that room and only show it as a list of member names in the form "user1 and 2985 others".
### Steps to reproduce
Probably hard to reproduce due to the involved memory limit.
How do you create debug logs on Element Desktop?
### Version information
- **Platform**: desktop and android
For the desktop app:
- **OS**: ArchLinux
- **Version**: 1.7.23 (Arch package)

Research direction
The issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Start by investigating the kick-and-rejoin flow described in the report and determine why the room name is present in Element Desktop but absent from other desktop and Android clients; done means the room metadata is shown consistently after rejoining.
