That's the correct link, yes. It's a bit unfortunate that even though
spaces are just special rooms, trying to find the room name for a space
is rather hard in the Element client

That unfortunately seems typical -- I'm joining the space from a
different server too (Element One, ironically *also* hosted by EMS).
Joining from a different homeserver seems to be a bit unreliable no
matter which two servers are involved, especially for larger rooms
(getting this issue joining Debian, FOSDEM, and Linux Plumbers rooms
too).

(my use case is: both Element One and Fedora Chat use SSO, and Element
is the only app that does SSO properly right now, so I can't have both
on my phone without futzing around with Island or some other app to be
able to run Element in a normal and 'work' context)

That part is weird though, mine show up just fine.
