Onboarding - remove duplicate screen
Steps to reproduce
...as it offers the same options as the first screen hence there's no value in it, promotes one single big server by repeating that "the better other" one is still "matrix.org", creates friction for users deterring them to not use others by adding additional loops to jump through
PS: We all know the power of defaults. Is it a dark pattern? Maybe
Thanks for creating this issue. We are working on login with QR code feature which will mitigate this issue a little.
I would actually suggest that you only keep the screen in the middle, call it "choose an account provider", and bring the search functionality from the screen on the right to it. There is no need for the extra screen on the left to confirm what you are about to sign in with. Once matrix.org or a custom input is explicitly chosen, you can be taken directly to the login. It would be a good idea to list other public homeservers there as well.
And the search-result is hidden by keyboard on both of my phones. So i thougt no homeserver was found...

QR Login is unrelated with the flow this issue is talking about (manually specifying a homeserver), as it's parallel to the preexisting flow.
Likely also refer to https://github.com/element-hq/element-meta/issues/2133 to that regard.
Sidenote: it just occurred to me that finding this earlier: https://mastodon.ar.al/@aral/110236405361940166
