Description

This is an issue for half of https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-doc/issues/546 (the spec also needs to clarify it).

Having skimmed the FAQ, this still seems like a real issue. A header like "What is an identity server?" would be nice.

Research direction

Start by reading the FAQ and the related matrix-org/matrix-doc#546 issue to understand the documentation gap. Locate the FAQ section where identity servers are introduced and add a clear “What is an identity server?” heading and explanation. Done means the concept is clarified in the website docs without attempting the separate spec work.
