Server Listings — Overview

A public directory where Mokito-powered Discord servers advertise themselves. Browse by tag, language, or activity — rankings are driven by real member votes, not bump commands, and every card shows live member counts and real activity metrics straight from the bot.

Overview

The Server Listings directory lives at the Servers page on the Mokito website. Any guild owner using Mokito can opt their server in, write a description, pick tags, and let their members vote once per day. Visitors browse the directory, filter by tag or language, see real activity metrics on every card, and click through to a detail page with a Join button.

Server Listings is a free feature — there is no Premium tier, no paid top spots, and no bumping. Ranking is purely member-driven.

What the directory is

The directory is a browsable grid of server cards. Each card shows the server's icon, name, a short description, up to 5 tags, the live member count, an activity badge, the messages-per-user metric, and the current vote count. Clicking a card opens the server's detail page, which carries the full description, social links, a live-activity panel, a Join Server button, and (for logged-in members of that server) a Vote button.

The directory is linked from the top navbar on every public Mokito page, between Premium and Docs.

How ranking works

Unlike most Discord server directories, Mokito does not use a bump command. There is nothing to type every few hours. Instead, the default sort is vote count — each member of a server can vote for that server once every 24 hours, and the servers with the most daily votes rise to the top.

Member votes

A vote is a single click from the member dashboard (or the detail page, if the visitor is a member of that server). One vote per member per server per rolling 24 hours — the cooldown is tracked from the moment the vote is cast, so it resets at the exact time the member voted yesterday, not at midnight. See Voting for the full flow.

Members can only vote for servers they are currently a member of. You cannot vote for a server you have left, and you cannot vote for a server you have never joined.

The four sorts

The browse page offers four sort options in a dropdown:

SortWhat it orders byDefault?
Most votesHighest vote count to lowest.Yes — this is the default when you first open the directory.
Most membersHighest live member count to lowest.No.
NewestMost recently listed servers first.No.
OldestLongest-listed servers first.No.

The activity model

Because Mokito is already inside every listed server, the directory can show activity that other directories cannot. Every card and detail page carries three live metrics:

The activity badge

Each listing shows a small colored badge that reflects how recently a message was sent in the server. The badge has five states, picked by a cascade that always shows the most-recent applicable one:

StateColorWhen it shows
LiveGreenA message was sent in the last hour.
Last 24hCyanLast message was between 1 and 24 hours ago.
7 daysBlueLast message was between 1 and 7 days ago.
15 daysSlateLast message was between 7 and 15 days ago.
30 daysGreyLast message was between 15 and 30 days ago.
No badgeLast message was more than 30 days ago. The server is considered inactive.

The badge updates as activity changes — a server that goes quiet drops from Live to Last 24h to 7 days, and a burst of messages brings it straight back to Live.

Activity metrics on every card

Alongside the badge, every card and the detail page show:

Data freshness

The activity metrics are refreshed automatically in the background — you never have to press a button or run a command. The detail page shows a small "Synced X minutes ago" note in the activity panel so you know how fresh the numbers are.

Member count is always live — it comes straight from Discord. The messages-per-user and activity-badge metrics refresh every few minutes in the background.

NSFW handling

A server owner can self-declare their server as NSFW when they create the listing. NSFW listings are excluded from the default browse view — a visitor has to explicitly turn on the NSFW filter toggle to see them. This keeps the directory family-friendly by default while still allowing adult communities to be listed.

If a listing is reported for an NSFW mismatch (the server is adult-oriented but the owner did not flag it), Mokito admins can force-flag it. Once force-flagged, the owner cannot unset the NSFW flag themselves.

Search engines + sitemap

Each detail page is built to be discoverable by search engines. The page carries a descriptive title, a meta description, Open Graph tags, and Twitter Card tags — all derived from the server's name and short description. A sitemap is published at /servers-sitemap.xml that lists every published, enabled, non-NSFW listing, so search engines can find and index them.

What is not included

The Server Listings directory is intentionally lean. The following are not part of the directory:
