Description
This issue has been migrated from [#8919](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse/issues/8919).
---
Right now it seems that `auto_join_rooms` forces new users into the configured rooms. Some may not want this for privacy reasons, but a feature like this could make sure that users are aware of certain rooms - such as in my case, the community room of my server.
It would be great if this would (or could, optionally) be only an invite rather than a direct join, so the users have a choice.
As discussed in the synapse-admins room, maybe the system user from the `send_server_notice` api could handle the invite here.
