feature_exploring_public_spaces: "Show spaces" should probably be checked by default

[gabrc52]

Your use case

What would you like to do?

Users should be able to see spaces in the public directory by default

Why would you like to do it?

Because spaces are valuable too

How would you like to achieve it?

By checking the "Show spaces by default"

Have you considered any alternatives?

An alternative design may be needed, since the tooltip says "Explore rooms"

Additional context

matrix-org/matrix-react-sdk#11423 iterates on the UX and removes this checkbox entirely.

Ahh I see, thanks a lot for working on this!

I think this hides the ability to find spaces behind having to delete the "Public rooms" chip, scrolling down and then clicking on "Public spaces".

One possible suggestion could be to add an "Explore spaces" button next to the "Explore rooms" button.

And a small tidbit:

It still says "rooms" in here

Not really...

1. shortcut from + on spaces
   

2. Click Search top of room list, Public Spaces is above Public Rooms

Yup because they technically are, not touching that bit right now
