Description
⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
- This is a bug, not a question or a configuration/webserver/proxy issue.
- This issue is not already reported on Github OR Nextcloud Community Forum (I've searched it).
- Nextcloud Server is up to date. See Maintenance and Release Schedule for supported versions.
- I agree to follow Nextcloud's Code of Conduct.
Bug description
The "Share with me via Nextcloud" button found at /settings/user/sharing doesn't work, because its target links to the "sharing" section of nextcloud.com's Features page.
Steps to reproduce
- Visit
/settings/user/sharing - Click "add to your website"
- Click the blue "Share with me via Nextcloud" button
Alternately:
- Visit https://strugee.net/contact
- Click the blue "Share with me via Nextcloud" button
Expected behavior
I'm shown how to create a federated share, or something like that. Not really sure what was here before.
I'm imagining it would be something like https://matrix.to/.

Additional info
Filing against nextcloud/core because I couldn't find a repo for the website.
Note that it's not enough to just fix the settings page - these buttons are presumably all over the place in the wild.

Research direction
Reproduce the broken button from /settings/user/sharing and the external strugee.net/contact example, then inspect the settings sharing entry point and search for the “Share with me via Nextcloud” label or target URL. The fix is complete when the affected buttons lead to the intended federated-sharing guidance, including occurrences beyond the settings page.
