Public bug reported:

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

After someone complained that it was impossible to find the 'Join this
team' link, I tried to find it myself, and indeed it wasn't trivial
since the Big Green Button is gone. Then I thought about pointing them
to the documentation, only to find that the documentation for joining
a team has an outdated screenshot and very few instructions about how
the process of joining a team works. People were specially confused by
the fact that once you join a team, the 'Join this team' link is gone,
so they can't send a direct link to joining a team to another user.

Here's an excerpt from the conversation:

It's visible enough to me right there were it is?

I can understand your complaint though. That page was changed recently
to show more information. You can see from the screenshot on this page
that there used to be a Big Green Button in the page for joining the
team:
