# Server Directory

> Submit, configure, and manage your server's listing on the Melonly Server Directory

The Server Directory at [servers.melonly.xyz](https://servers.melonly.xyz) is where players discover, vote on, and review ER:LC communities. Listings are reviewed by the Melonly team before going live.
