Beta 0.3.11 · Build 25
Self-hosted instance listings
You can now list a self-hosted Fluxer instance alongside servers, bots, and themes. Submit your domain, display name, description, icon, banner, tags, primary language, and website, support, and source links from Add Instance. Everything is editable later from your dashboard’s Edit Listing page.
Every submission runs an automated health check against your instance’s /.well-known/fluxer descriptor. The results appear on submission, in your dashboard, and in the review queue, including TLS status, each probe’s pass or fail, and every field the descriptor returns. Connection and TLS failures show a short reason like “SSL failed” or “Domain not found” instead of raw OpenSSL text.
Domain ownership verification is required. An instance can’t be approved or shown publicly until its owner proves control of the domain with a DNS TXT record. Once live, an instance gets its own public detail page, and every listed instance is re-checked weekly. A failing instance is pulled from Browse Instances until it passes again, and its owner is notified.
Instance submissions are gated for now. Admins can turn submissions off platform-wide, or restrict them to users granted Instance Tester access.
Reporting and guidelines for instances
Anyone can report a misleading listing, an unreachable instance, or an unresponsive operator from an instance’s page. Reports use the same review queue as servers, bots, and themes, which now has an Instances filter.
Two new pages set expectations. The Instance Listing Guidelines cover health checks, domain verification, and what gets a listing rejected or delisted. The Instance Operator Terms cover what you confirm when you submit, your ongoing responsibilities, and what verification does and doesn’t confirm. The Privacy Policy discloses what’s collected on submission: domain, display name, description, tags, and operator contact. The operator contact field accepts a Fluxer username, a social handle, or any other reliable contact method.
Renamed badge
The instance Verified badge is now Domain Verified and uses a distinct green style, so it doesn’t read as an official FluxerList endorsement the way the server Verified badge does.
Custom backgrounds for servers
Unlock Custom Background for a server for 5,000 tokens, then upload your own image from that server’s Edit Listing page. It replaces the colour gradient at the top of the server’s detail page.
Faster profiles
The Achievements section on profiles is now collapsed until you expand it, and badge lists longer than 10 collapse behind a “+N more” button. Heavily decorated profiles now load quickly.
A redesigned admin panel
The Admin Panel now matches the Review Dashboard and Partner Manager. It has a dated header, grouped sidebar navigation with pending-count badges, and a Staff Tools section linking to Review, Reports, Partner Manager, Violations, and the Audit Log. Overview has a Needs Attention strip that reads “All clear” when nothing is waiting, and every tab is deep-linkable with ?tab=.
Admins can now search users by Fluxer ID, add or remove FL Tokens from any user’s card with an optional reason, and open a user’s profile in one click. Token adjustments appear as normal transactions in the user’s history.
Listing blacklist
Admins can now flag a user so they can no longer add servers, bots, themes, or instances. It’s a lighter alternative to a ban. Browsing, voting, commenting, and managing listings they already own all keep working. Blacklisted users see a clear notice on the Add page, and the API rejects any submission from them.
Partner Managers can grant API access
Partner Managers can now grant or revoke API access for a partner’s account from that partner’s page. The partner can then generate and manage their own key from their dashboard’s Developer tab.
Fixes and polish
- Instances now appear in the footer’s Platform links.
- Rejecting an instance with no reason typed no longer leaves it stuck in Pending. A reason is required before Confirm Reject works.
- Fixed some bots being shown as requesting Administrator permission when they weren’t. Very large permission values from newer Fluxer permission bits were rounded in a way that could flip the flag on.
- You can delete a pending instance from your dashboard’s Instances tab. Approved instances stay locked so a live listing can’t vanish from Browse unnoticed.
- Removed the “Fresh Listing” weekly quest. It encouraged low-effort listings created to farm rewards.
- Bumping a server from the website now earns 10 FL Tokens instead of 1.
- Removed the 1,000-token wager cap on Spin the Wheel, Plinko, and Blackjack. Your balance is now the only limit. The High Roller achievement now requires a single bet of 25,000 tokens or more, up from 500.
- Partner Managers are hidden from the FLTokens Overview leaderboard and rank calculations, like admins.
- Removed the scrolling red admin banner, and the navbar no longer floats partway down admin pages.
