When you attempt to interact with a non-existing user, no indication of this fact happens.

Such cases as:

  • invites to a room
  • viewing a profile page

this is still an embarrassing problem. according to syn-134 the federation_authorization branch should be 404ing invites to nonexistent users, but it doesn't :(

Clients should be able to do a GET /_matrix/client/r0/profile/<user_id> to check for the existence of users, it will return a 404 if user doesn't exist.

This seems to have been solved in Riot web now?
