Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about how things work here.
What is UPSTRM?▾
UPSTRM is a community directory of servers and projects. People list things they find useful, vote on them, and discuss.
What are points and levels?▾
You earn points when people upvote servers you listed or built, and for a few actions like listing a new server. Points roll up into levels. Rough guide:
- Bronze: 50+
- Silver: 200+
- Gold: 500+
- Platinum: 1000+
How do badges work?▾
Badges show milestones. Some are automatic (e.g., first server, 100 upvotes), some reflect ranking (Top 10), and some are awarded by the team (Staff Pick, Hackathon Winner). Hover a badge on a profile to see what it means.
How do I submit a server?▾
Head to the submit page. You’ll be asked for a title, link, short description, and a few optional details.
How do votes and ranking work?▾
Items can be upvoted by signed-in users. The home page lets you sort by hot, new, or top over different time ranges.
How do I create and manage collections?▾
Collections let you group servers you like. After you sign in, use the "add to collection" action on any server, or view everything on the collections page.
Where can I see my notifications?▾
Check the bell in the header or go to the notifications page. You’ll see replies, mentions, and other alerts there.
Do I need an account?▾
You can browse without an account. To submit, vote, follow, or manage collections, you’ll need to sign in.
