Why this is a good first issue

Frontend/copy polish with a clear scope. Good for first-time code contributors who prefer UI over infra.

Goal

On the web app getting-started / empty states, surface contribution and community entry points without drowning the product UI:

Link to CONTRIBUTING.md (raw GitHub/Forgejo blob URL or docs site path once published)
Link to issue tracker filtered by good first issue when labels exist
Short note: support channel is GitHub/Forgejo Discussions (or Issues until Discussions enabled) — not a private Slack for OSS

Keep it one compact callout or footer, consistent with existing design system (packages/ui).

Acceptance criteria

Visible on the primary empty/getting-started surface for new workspaces
Uses existing UI components (no new design system)
Copy reviewed against docs/community/strategy.md channel policy
Does not promise Discord/Slack support SLAs that maintainers do not offer

Out of scope

Building a full docs site
Standing up Discord
Changing product onboarding wizard behavior beyond the callout
