# FAQ

Never used a server list before? No problem. Every answer below is written for beginners, and wherever there's clicking involved you'll find screenshots with numbered red markers showing exactly where to look.

Want the full walkthrough in one place instead? Start with the [Quickstart](/quickstart).

## Browsing

![The Browse Servers page with numbered markers on the search box, the sort tabs, the badge filters, the category buttons, and a Vote button](/_fern-img/52ae9020468195153f9ef565b72bd80d5c819f517b53e4a7e52cbf2b35a83b5e.webp)

#### What do the sorts do?

The row of tabs under the search box (marker 2) changes the order of the list:

* **Popular** ranks by total votes, most first.
* **Recently Bumped** puts the servers that were bumped most recently at the top.
* **Recently Added** shows servers in the order they were added, newest first.
* **Members** ranks by member count, largest first.
* **FLAT Score** ranks by how active a community is right now. See [FLAT activity score](/flat).

Just below the sorts (marker 3) are three badge filters: **Verified**, **FL Partner**, and **Official**. Select one to show only servers with that badge.

#### How do categories work?

Categories are the rounded buttons under the badge filters (marker 4). They filter servers by tag. Pick **Gaming** or **Music** and only servers with that tag are shown. Select **All** to see everything again.

#### Can I search?

Yes. The search bar at the top of the page (marker 1) matches names, descriptions, and tags at the same time, so you can type a game, a topic, or part of a server's name.

## Listing servers

#### How do I add my server?

You need to be signed in (see [How do I log in?](#account-and-privacy)) and you need to own the server, because the form only lets you pick from servers you own. It takes a few minutes: select **Add Listing** in the top bar, pick **Server**, and work through the four pages of the form.

#### [Add a server, step by step](/add-a-server)

A video of the whole flow, plus a screenshot of every page of the form.

After you submit, the FluxerList team reviews your server and you'll be notified once it's approved. See "How long does approval take?" just below.

#### Why can't I see my server in the list?

The server picker only shows servers **you own**. If yours is missing, check that you're signed in with the same Fluxer account that owns the server. If you only moderate or belong to a server, ask the owner to add it.

#### How long does approval take?

Most servers are reviewed within 24 to 48 hours (the form itself says listings go live within 24 hours). You'll be notified when it's approved, and you can also track the status on your dashboard: open **Listings**, and your server appears under a heading such as **Approved**. The **Pending** number at the top counts servers still waiting for review.

![The dashboard Listings tab with the Listings menu item and the Approved status marked](/_fern-img/1c329a14078ca1a71f061c1c008ac0cb376af6a9f5b249a0abd899f873a97eff.webp)

#### Why was my server rejected?

Common reasons are an invalid invite, a description that breaks the [server listing guidelines](/servers), or missing information. Your dashboard shows notes from reviewers.

The invite is the easiest one to catch yourself, because the form checks it as you type. If the link doesn't work you'll see a red **Invalid invite code** message and the Continue button stays greyed out, so fix the link before you go on.

![The Invite URL box showing a red Invalid invite code message](/_fern-img/53bd4da7eb834e1e86779e61ce0db69fa4a1c846297adef7c4b8884c981ba2f5.webp)

#### Can I edit or delete my listing?

Yes. Open your dashboard, go to **Listings**, and choose **Edit** (marker 3) on the server you want to change.

![A listing card on the dashboard with the Edit, History, and Bump buttons marked](/_fern-img/1c329a14078ca1a71f061c1c008ac0cb376af6a9f5b249a0abd899f873a97eff.webp)

On the Edit page you can change the description, tags, invite, content rating, and image. There's also a **Member Count** setting with three choices: **Hidden** (the count isn't shown), **Approximate** (taken from your invite link, no bot needed), and **Accurate** (taken straight from your server with real-time counts).

Choose **Delete** to remove it. Deleting asks you to confirm first.

#### What content isn't allowed?

Hate speech, doxxing, scams, and undisclosed NSFW content are grounds for removal. See [Server listing guidelines](/servers).

#### What do the content ratings mean?

When you add a server you pick any content ratings that apply. Be honest here, because undisclosed NSFW content is grounds for removal.

| Rating                     | What it covers                                                                                                            |
| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Mature Content**         | Dark themes, violence, strong language, alcohol or drug references, or horror. Not sexual.                                |
| **Adult Content**          | Suggestive or romantic content, non-explicit sexual themes, or partial nudity in art.                                     |
| **NSFW**                   | Explicit sexual content, graphic gore, or anything that needs full 18+ verification.                                      |
| **May Contain AI Content** | Tick this if your server was made, is run, or otherwise contains AI, such as an AI chatbot or AI-generated art and music. |

Mature and Adult listings show normally with a small badge. **NSFW** listings have their thumbnail blurred, need a login to view, and stay hidden unless someone opts in to seeing them.

## Bots

#### How do I submit a bot?

Sign in, then go to **Add** and choose **Bot**. Read the [bot guide](/bots) first, since it covers everything reviewers check.

#### How long does bot review take?

Typically 2 to 5 days. Bot reviews are more thorough because reviewers add your bot to a private test community and check every command.

#### Why was my bot rejected?

The usual reasons are mismatched permissions, an invalid invite URL, missing privacy disclosures, or commands that don't respond in time.

#### How many bots can I submit?

Up to 5 per account. Ask in the [support server](/support) if you need more.

## Bumps and votes

#### What is bumping?

Bumping is how you give your server a boost. It refreshes your server's position and signals that your community is active. You can bump each server once every 12 hours.

To bump, open your dashboard, go to **Listings**, and select **Bump** on your server (marker 5). When a bump is available, the page tells you that you have servers ready to bump.

![A listing card on the dashboard with the Bump button marked](/_fern-img/1c329a14078ca1a71f061c1c008ac0cb376af6a9f5b249a0abd899f873a97eff.webp)

The optional FluxerList Bot also lets your members bump your server every 12 hours. See [Bumps and votes](/bumps-and-votes).

#### What's the difference between a bump and a vote?

* **A bump** is done by the server's owner. It refreshes your server's position, and you can do it once every 12 hours per server.
* **A vote** is done by any signed-in visitor. It's a thumbs-up for a server you like, and it counts towards the **Popular** sort.

#### How do I vote?

You need to be signed in. You can vote once per listing and remove your vote at any time.

#### Find a server

Browse or search for the server you'd like to support.

#### Select Vote

Every server card has a **Vote** button next to **Join** (marker 5 below).

![The browse page with the Vote button on a server card marked with a 5](/_fern-img/52ae9020468195153f9ef565b72bd80d5c819f517b53e4a7e52cbf2b35a83b5e.webp)

## FLAT score

#### What is FLAT?

Fluxer List Activity Tracking. It's a score of how active a community is right now, a bit like a "how lively is this server?" meter. Higher means more going on lately. You can sort the server list by it using the **FLAT Score** tab. See [FLAT activity score](/flat).

To see the activity for your own server, open **Edit** on your listing and select **View FLAT activity**.

#### Do I need the bot for FLAT?

Yes. When you add a server, the review page offers the FluxerList Bot as an optional extra. Your listing goes live without it, but FLAT tracking (and member bumping) won't be available until the bot is added.

#### Does FLAT read my members' messages?

No. It only records counts, meaning how much activity there was, never what anyone said. Message content is never read, stored, or transmitted, and no user IDs are stored.

#### Can I opt out?

Yes. Any server owner can turn tracking off from their server settings. The server stays discoverable through search and categories, so you're not hidden from the list by opting out.

#### Why does my score drop when nothing changed?

FLAT uses time decay, which means recent activity counts for more than older activity. Think of it like a leaderboard that keeps forgetting the past: a quiet few days lowers a score that was propped up by an earlier busy spell. Keeping the conversation going keeps the score up.

## FL Tokens

#### How do I earn tokens?

FL Tokens are FluxerList's on-site points. Vote, bump, check in daily, finish weekly quests, and refer friends to earn them. See [Earn and spend tokens](/tokens).

#### Can I cash tokens out?

No. FL Tokens are an on-site currency with no cash value.

#### Can I stop people gifting me tokens?

Yes. Turn it off in **Settings → Privacy**.

#### Open Settings

Select the gear icon in the top bar.

![The Settings gear icon in the top bar, marked with a 1](/_fern-img/acd2cf7a686804f288c6eb4a301ef40cfb0a80e534333c2625c852eabb9b2bf3.webp)

#### Go to Privacy and switch off Gifts

Select the **Privacy** tab (marker 1), then switch off the **Gifts** toggle (marker 2). When it's off, other users can't send you FL Token gifts from your profile.

![The Privacy tab in Settings with the Privacy tab and the Gifts toggle marked](/_fern-img/348726b34fa0a029b097aa46b0a89f78300f592e4ccbeef089f09c3eb8770923.webp)

## Account and privacy

#### How do I log in?

FluxerList uses Fluxer OAuth, which means you sign in with your existing Fluxer account. There's no separate FluxerList account to create.

#### Select Login with Fluxer

It's the button in the top right corner of every page.

![The Login with Fluxer button in the top right, marked with a 1](/_fern-img/be1d3186dbd8b2ecbf9ed80ce9a6c9198871fb75f15125df31fd6e276fffcbab.webp)

#### Sign in on Fluxer

You're taken to Fluxer's own page. If you aren't already signed in, enter your Fluxer email and password there. That page belongs to Fluxer, not FluxerList. If you don't have an account yet, select **Register**.

![Fluxer's sign-in page with email and password boxes](/_fern-img/fca9167d2d589aebc9e56c3d4799b8bf83b529856767061541628d64b6868695.webp)

#### Authorise

Fluxer asks you to approve FluxerList's access to your account. Approve it and you're sent back to FluxerList, signed in.

#### Does FluxerList collect my email?

No. It asks Fluxer for your username, display name, and avatar, plus the list of your servers so the Add form can show the ones you own. The exception is a self-hosted instance submission, where you provide an operator contact of your choosing.

#### Is FluxerList officially affiliated with Fluxer?

No. FluxerList is an independent, community-run project and is not officially affiliated with or endorsed by Fluxer Platform AB.

## Outages

#### Is FluxerList or the bot down?

Check the [status page](https://status.fluxerlist.com). It shows whether the site, the bot, and other FluxerList services are up, and lists incidents as they're handled. If everything shows as operational and something still isn't working, ask in the [support server](/support).

## Still stuck?

#### [Ask the community](/support)

The team and community are in the support server.
