I think this is hostile wording towards the users as the term shared doesn't appear outside of the spec. Please consider using client terminology such as Element Web members-only?

I've updated the FAQ with the equivalents you might see in the UI but it's not possible to be exhaustive for how every client might expose these options. We're also trying to be brief and to the point with this join reason so I'm going to just let the pointer to the FAQ take the lead for people trying to understand more.

Fix #267 In the case of someone visiting a room via an alias, we can't get access to the `room_id` before we join the room. I've opted to just point to the Matrix Public Archive instance in general. This way the `join` reason is always stable regardless how someone is visiting the room. Join `reason` was originally added in #262
