When I login through M-x erc (have also tried erc-tls with the same
results), the erc buffer is no longer visible. Emacs instead remains on
the previous buffer (in my case *scratch*). This did not happen in
previous versions.
I'm able to open the buffer when prompted when exiting emacs, but I am
not able to use it during the prompt state from C-x C-c.
Version: Arch Linux Emacs 29.1-4
Thanks.

Hi. The on-join window handling behaviors saw some changes in 29.1
(ERC 5.5) and more are in progress for Emacs 30 (ERC 5.6-git on GNU
ELPA devel). IIUC, this was motivated because "rolling buffers though
the active window" was seen as being a potential security hazard.
Please look at ERC NEWS file (M-x erc-news RET) and also the variable
'erc-interactive-display' which you almost certainly want to set up in
your Emacs configuration, going forward. Once you review those let us
know if that clears things up or if you suspect there may be a bug
here. If you do believe there's a bug it may be helpful to have the
full output produced by M-x report-emacs-bug (ideally from a session
where you've minimally reproduced the problem, so starting from -Q or
such).

As Corwin helpfully explained, what you're seeing is intentional
(believe it or not) [1]. Just to be clear, you can get the old default
back by doing
(setopt erc-join-buffer 'buffer)
or
M-x customize-group RET erc-buffers RET
C-s erc join buffer RET
toggling the arrow for item Erc Join Buffer
and choosing "4 = Use current buffer" from the "Value Menu"
and then doing C-x C-s or similar to commit the new value
Of course, if you're feeling aggrieved by this development, please make
a case for an alternative [2]. But before that, please consider trying
the new behavior on master [3]. (The option mentioned by Corwin,
`erc-interactive-display', is new in ERC 5.6).
Thanks,
J.P.
P.S. In addition to `report-emacs-bug', you can also try M-x erc-bug
RET, which adds the header "X-Debbugs-CC: emacs-erc@gnu.org" to your
initial email (so we get a copy on ERC's own mailing list) [4].
