Issue

Description says

Lists the public rooms on the server.

This API returns paginated responses. The rooms are ordered by the number of joined members, with the largest rooms first.

A room can be public and not published to the server directory, in which case it won't be returned in this API. I would describe it as "Lists the rooms published on the server's room directory" instead.
