⚠️ 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

One of my Nextcloud instances links on public shares to a no longer existing Nextcloud.com registration page.

I also found the reference to this URL still in the code of the current master:

server/lib/private/TemplateLayout.php

Line 179 in d49f90b

$defaultSignUpLink = 'https://nextcloud.com/signup/';

Steps to reproduce

1. Create share link
2. Open share link
3. See bottom footer:

4. Click on "Get your own free account"
5. See "Not found" page

Expected behavior

A page with more purpose. I assume the old registration page no longer exists now.

Additional info

This Nextcloud instance has been running for 8 years now and has been upgraded over time. This is the one showing this link. I assume by (old) default as I cannot remember configuring this manually.

Other "newer" Nextcloud instances I administer do not show this link by default. Still I think this could be removed from the code now, or replaced with a working link.

Problem seems more serious than that: https://nextcloud.com/ no longer points to "the good server".

@solracsf thanks for the ping and on it. I informed system admins about it! 👍

Oh sorry, I haven't realized this possibility while writing the issue ...

@AndyScherzinger can we expect a public statement about what happened with nextcloud.com? Given the recent data leak[1] and the fact that nextcloud.com was offline for several hours, after serving bogus content [2] makes me a bit worried. I would appreciate some official statement.
