+## Preparation
+
+Make sure you have backups if your Gitea instance contains any important data. The Gitea federation code will make possibly unexpected changes to your database.
+
+You can also join https://matrix.to/#/#forgefederation:matrix.batsense.net and https://matrix.to/#/#gitea-federation-chat:matrix.org to chat with Gitea and forge federation developers or report bugs and regressions.
+
