@Hendrik Peter thanks for making a merge request.

I think it's good to tell people about rooms in the intro. But I agree with @jacob [%0TJMGxF...] that it should be clarified that more than just joining the room is needed. Someone has to follow the new person for their content to be replicated into the network (other than being temporarily replicated by Patchwork users visiting their profile). And the new person has to follow other users in the network too, in order to replicate feeds (besides ones temporarily replicated by Patchwork upon visiting their profile). Exchanging keys with someone and following eachother should work for this purpose, assuming they are close enough in the social graph to other people in the room. Otherwise someone in the room needs to follow them and they follow someone in the room. The old (current) text is also incorrect in implying that following peers directly is enough to join the network, without having a room or pub invite or LAN connection.

If rooms are to be mentioned as the primary "easiest way" for onboarding, should pubs be mentioned also as a fallback/secondary option?

Also, can you make the commit message in the customary format? i.e. short first line, with any subsequent text separated by a blank line. More info:

I'm not sure how deployment of the site works. @dinoworm 🐛?
