-**Note**: The sliding-sync proxy is **not required** when using the **Conduit homeserver**. Starting from version `0.6.0` Conduit has native support for some sliding sync features. If there are issues with the native implementation, you might have a better experience when enabling the sliding-sync proxy anyway.
+**Note**: The sliding-sync proxy is **not required** anymore as it's been replaced with a different method (called Simplified Sliding Sync) which is integrated into newer homeservers by default (**Conduit** homeserver from version `0.6.0` or **Synapse** from version `1.114`).

-## How do I get started with Matrix?
+### How do I get started with Matrix?
 
 One of [Matrix](https://matrix.org/)'s distinguishing strengths (compared to other chat networks) is its decentralized nature. There's not just one entity (company, organization) controlling the servers. Rather there's thousands of servers operated by different people - one server being insecure, slow or disrespective toward its users does not affect the rest of the network. To participate in that decentralization in its fullest, consider hosting your own server or using some public server other than the largest/default one (`matrix.org`).
