Possible UI problem: i can't seem to manage to join #synapse:matrix.org

Description

There is a bit of a problem with joining a room by exact invite path, which is two-fold:

• In discover groups, when entering #synapse:matrix.org it will show multiple results. None of them appears to have the public room URL listed, so I am unable to tell which one is the right one. I think either if it's an exact room URL like that the results should only show an exact match, or each result should list the public room URL so I can actually see what even is the one I am looking for. Both would be fine, too.

• Past joining, in the room settings there appears to be zero mention of the room URLs in any of the settings listings. It is listed for channels I am an admin in with the option to change it. I think what should happen is that in places where I can't change it, that entry should still be listed as a read-only setting so I can at least see what it is.

Anyway, due to these two things I need to randomly guess what #synapse:matrix.org is from multiple results, and after joining I still can't figure out if I joined the right one since I can't find the public URL anywhere.

To Reproduce

1. Top-left menu > "Discover Groups" > "Search for a chat" > enter "#synapse:matrix.org"

   -> 4 results, impossible for me to tell which one is the exact match I am looking for
   (like, maybe there is a way but I can't figure it out)

2. Join any of the 4 results, switch to the chat tab

3. Top-right three dots menu > "Chat details" > "Settings" ... no entry that tells me what the room's public URL is.
