Description
As a user I'd like to have a look at an existing conversation before joining.
As a user I'd like to be in control that whenever I open a link, I can decide when the room is entered and people are notified.
Currently when opening a conversation link, the current user is joining directly.
This ticket is about adding a step in-between, maybe a button "Join conversation" and maybe a command "//join" to actively join the conversation that is currently being viewed.
Posting a message would also automatically join the conversation.
This could have some privacy implications as it would allow people to view a room without getting noticed. Maybe this could be limited to public rooms or made optional ?
Pre-requisite for fixing https://github.com/nextcloud/spreed/issues/4717.
Might also help with dealing with password changes.

Research direction
Start by tracing the current conversation-link flow that joins the user immediately, then review prerequisite issue 4717. Done means a user can view a conversation before joining, explicitly join through the agreed interaction, and have message posting join automatically, with the privacy scope decided.
