The #/ component is mandatory and exists to avoid leaking the target URL to the
server hosting matrix.to.

There is no _Entity type_ for **Spaces**, as they are technically really just regular
rooms. (Some servers call their "entrypoint" space literally `space`, in which case
the URL would be `https://matrix.to/#/#space:example.org`.)

This isn't helpful and will be misleading at best, e.g. matrix.org doesn't use #space but uses #community - in any case how is it helpful? The first sentence is probably fine, though I'd maybe remove the word regular given they are rooms of type m.space i.e not "regular" or default rooms

@t3chguy I appreciate that you took the time to review this, and have updated it now as you suggested - better?


Note that linking to rooms by ID should only be used for rooms to which the
target user has been invited: these links cannot be assumed to work for all
visitors.
