The public/world-readable history visibility option means exactly what it says,
public even without joining the room. These rooms are accessible to tools
such as [Matrix Static](https://view.matrix.org/) and its successor [Matrix Public Archive](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive)

It depends.
You can try [Matrix Public Archive](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-public-archive/), e.g. for Matrix HQ ~~[archive.matrix.org/r/matrix:matrix.org](https://archive.matrix.org/r/matrix:matrix.org) ([@archive:matrix.org](matrix:u/archive:matrix.org))

Alternatively if the room in question has an alias, you can try poking the room directory API e.g. for [#matrix.fi:matrix.org](matrix:r/matrix.fi:matrix.org): [https://matrix-client.matrix.org/\_matrix/client/v3/directory/room/%23matrix.fi%3Amatrix.org](https://matrix-client.matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/directory/room/%23matrix.fi%3Amatrix.org), you get the room ID and list of homeservers in it and if you see a single user (or otherwise not so popular homeserver), you can make educated guesses on who may be in the room. Note that this particular link requires `matrix.org` to be in the room and aware of the alias.
