Instance Guidelines

Beta

What gets a self-hosted instance listing rejected or delisted.

View as Markdown

These guidelines cover what’s specific to self-hosted instance listings. They apply on top of the general Community Guidelines. Read this before you list your instance.

An instance listing points people at infrastructure you control, not at a server invite, so it’s held to a different bar than a server or bot listing - domain ownership and uptime matter as much as content.

Rejection and delisting

Any of these keeps a listing off FluxerList or gets a live one delisted. These are in addition to the general conduct rules that apply to every listing type.

  • Domain ownership never verified, or the token left to expire without a retry.
  • Core, API, or Gateway health checks failing, including after going live.
  • False or misleading information on the form.
  • Impersonating another instance, community, brand, or the Fluxer or FluxerList team.
  • Content or conduct that would get a server removed under the Server Guidelines.
  • The domain changing hands or no longer resolving to a real Fluxer instance.

The Domain Verified badge confirms domain ownership only. It is not an endorsement of the instance’s content, moderation, or reliability by Fluxer or FluxerList.
