From 9f1a483e764761c5406f5e01a0c1657d1096039b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raven <231570222+star-bird@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 18 Feb 2026 12:45:03 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] docs: Add information about partnered homeservers to the introduction page & update README.md Includes step-by-step directions to ease the lift for those who have ended up here and who have never created a matrix account or used matrix before in the past. Also updates the information in README.md to match, as these should generally be identical. --- README.md | 11 ++++++++--- docs/introduction.mdx | 8 +++++++- 2 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 0ea392e6..1e41cf23 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -57,10 +57,15 @@ Continuwuity aims to: ### Can I try it out? -Check out the [documentation](https://continuwuity.org) for installation instructions, or join one of these vetted public homeservers running Continuwuity to get a feel for things! +Check out the [documentation](https://continuwuity.org) for installation instructions. -- https://continuwuity.rocks -- A public demo server operated by the Continuwuity Team. -- https://federated.nexus -- Federated Nexus is a community resource hosting multiple FOSS (especially federated) services, including Matrix and Forgejo. +If you want to try it out as a user, we have some partnered homeservers you can use: +* You can head over to [https://federated.nexus](https://federated.nexus/) in your browser. + * Hit the `Apply to Join` button.
