When the sentence talks about signing up, it gives the option of going to the Nextcloud signup page or through "... the apps directly..." i am assuming it means our IOS/Android app. is this sentence to mean

Suggested change
- ☑️ [**Simply sign up**](https://nextcloud.com/signup/) with one of our providers either through our website or through our apps directly.
- ☑️ [**Simply sign up**](https://nextcloud.com/signup/) with one of our providers either through our website or through the providers apps directly.

if it is to mean our IOS/Android App, then maybe it should be more consice

No, the change is correct, it's OUR apps (android, iOS, desktop) through which you can sign up with a third party provider ;-) So this is actually good.

Third-party components are handled as git submodules which have to be initialized first. So aside from the regular git checkout invoking `git submodule update --init` or a similar command is needed, for details see Git documentation.

The sentence lost its meaning, it was only missing a comma after «invoking»

But in what you propose, you put the comma wrong. People need to invoke the command 'git submodule' etc, so the coma should be after 'checkout', not after invoking:
