The quickstart guide asks the user to use the exocloud integrated Matrix client to join Matrix, yet also uses https://matrix.to links which don't work with the exocloud Matrix client. We have a few options here:

  1. Use https://cloud.exozy.me/apps/riotchat/ instead of https://matrix.to for those links in the quickstart guide. This is quite the hack and I don't like it at all, but it would be the easiest change to make.

  2. Add the addresses of the rooms (such as #general:exozy.me) instead of using matrix.to links. This is my personally preferred solution.

  3. Ask the user to use https://app.element.io which works perfectly with any https://matrix.to links that they find online. This is also a nice solution and noob-friendly.

Any other ideas?

The original title was terrible and had a typo, oops! It's corrected now.
