Your use case

What would you like to do?

I would like to be able to join a room without invitation or having to tap on a room link (mention pill?) or matrix.to-link.

Why would you like to do it?

Sometimes I just know that a room exists and I would like to be able to join the room by manually typing the room alias.

How would you like to achieve it?

Perhaps by tapping on the start chat symbol. Then there could be an option "Join room".

Have you considered any alternatives?

One alternative is that I write the room link in a private chat. But that would be very inconvenient.
