Open directory of public XMPP servers has been created to allow server administrators to provide their servers without preconditions. The only important criteria for adding a site to this directory is that the XMPP server is public and clearly points to this.
It is not our task to divide servers into good and bad and create closed lists for the self-appointed elite. We believe that users should choose the right server for themselves, and not rely on someone else's opinion
XMPP is a federated network and there is competition between servers. Many times we have encountered the problem of refusals to be included in the "XMPP public lists of servers" or removed from them for non-obvious and far-fetched reasons. For example, some of the reasons "Your server is first in the lists, change the name to what it was in the middle or at the end of the list", "My server transfers files of 100 megabytes, I will not include your server in the list unless you reduce the size of the transferred files", "I only list my friends' servers", "I don't like the design of your site" and etc. The purpose of this list "xmpp-servers.404.city" is to create a truly open directory where anyone can add any of their any server and share
You can add a new server by writing to support@404.city message "ADD SERVER: EXAMPLE.COM". The main page of the site should include a mention that this is a public XMPP server and how to create an account.
