Make it obvious how to join a room #81

I only found out about /aliases by accident, and was otherwise left quite confused trying to join a room I found on view.matrix.org. A fat button in the top right taking me to matrix.to might make sense. Thanks for your consideration.

By way of illustration e.g. https://view.matrix.org/room/!WqsLCItsZbJGhRjnxP:matrix.org/ provides a user who doesn't know about Matrix with no clue at all of how to participate that room (in this case of that particular room, a user is more likely to join up via IRC - since at least that is in the room topic).

anything new regarding this issue? Because it's not obvious that you can join the room by clicking on a timestamp I think having to provide two links or proving the joining-link in the topic isn't a good solution.
