Updated the FAQ regarding mambabuild
I have linked the boa-build doc page that Wolf shared: https://boa-build.readthedocs.io/en/latest/mambabuild.html But I haven't referred to it by name, i.e. instead of saying 'For more details visit the boa-build page', I have added, 'For more details visit 'this' page' with the link. I think introducing a 'new' word/name might scare off the reader and they won't visit the page. LOL. Dunno though.

:ref:`(Q) <mfaq_mamba_local>` **Is it possible to use mamba instead of conda, while testing?**
75-
76-
Yes, it is. If you want to run in the CI
77-
- Set ``build_with_mambabuild: True to conda-forge.yaml``
78-
- Rerender with ``conda-smithy``
79-
(Remember to remove this configuration before merge.)
80-
81-
You can also run tests locally by using:
82-
``conda install conda-smithy -c conda-forge && conda smithy rerender``
83-
Important: the builds made with mambabuild won't be uploaded to conda-forge, this is purely for debugging (as of now).
84-
85-
Another way to test using mamba, is directly buiding your recipe using:
86-
``conda install boa -c conda-forge``
87-
Then you can use ``conda mambabuild myrecipe``

:ref:`(Q) <mfaq_mamba_local>` **How can I make debugging solver failures on the CI faster?**
75+
76+
An alternative to the conda solver is the mamba solver. The mamba solver has a faster solve speed and prints better error messages that make debugging simpler.
77+
78+
You can configure the conda-forge CI to run a debug build using the mamba solver with the following changes:
79+
80+
- Set ``build_with_mambabuild: True`` in ``conda-forge.yaml`` file
81+
- Rerender with ``conda-smithy``
82+
[Note: Builds made with ``mambabuild`` won't be uploaded to ``conda-forge``. These builds are purely for debugging purposes.]
83+
84+
You can also do this locally by using:
85+
86+
- ``conda install boa -c conda-forge``
87+
- ``conda mambabuild myrecipe``
88+
