Add ability to expand and interact with room topic in join room screen
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. In the join room screen, the room topic is limited to 3 lines, without the ability to show the remaining content or open embedded links.
Describe the solution you'd like Provide a way to expand the topic, similar to the room details screen. The expansion should also make links clickable.
Describe alternatives you've considered
| Alternative | Problem |
|---|---|
| Joining the room first and checking the topic after | I can't check the room info before joining |
| Use another client | This is undesirable because this is a lot of overhead and I would need to somehow get the room alias/id into the other client |
| Just don't care about the topic | Sometimes I do |
| Make a screenshot and let iOS extract links | This works reasonably well for links that are fully visible, but is obviously not viable long-term and only addresses part of the problem |
Additional context
Example screen with cut of topic
This is more relevant than ever now that spaces are here and a supported way to explore new rooms.
