+# CRITERIA FOR ADDING A SERVER
+
+Our [servers list](https://fediverse.party/en/portal/servers) promotes new small Fediverse instances, and we have the following criteria for inclusion:
+
+1. At the moment we accept servers running following software: Mastodon (Glitch-Soc, Hometown), Pleroma (Akkoma), Friendica, Misskey (Calckey), Hubzilla (the list *may* be expanded in the future).
+
+2. Only servers with open or pre-moderated registration are accepted. Servers with pre-moderated signup (a question like "Why do you want to join?" on signup) must be added to the category "Various (registration by application)".
+
+3. Total number of users must not be more than 5000 (this number *may* be changed in the future).
+
+4. Experimental new servers should not be put on the list. If you're unsure about the nearest future of your node, it's unwise to recommend it to newcomers.
+
+5. If your server is proxied through Cloudflare, add note *(Cloudflared)* at the end. We may list only servers with non-strict CLoudflare settings that allow our automated checker to occasionally re-visit your server without tripping on Cloudflare's captchas. As soon as a server starts using strict settings and checking fails on our side, the server will be removed from the list.
+
+Thank you!
