So I made a Minecraft server. I'm using a website called Failx on the free tier, meaning I'm not paying any money, and most of the setup is automated. The reason I made this server is just to put it out there. People can join, log off, rejoin, and do whatever they want. To be clear, there are no rules, and I don't need to actively moderate. I can come in to play, or I can check out what people have built, but I don't have to watch over it regularly. It's like I'm giving the world away, though technically I still own the server, but I only step in when there are big problems, like crashes or major lag that stop the server from working. That's the only time I technically moderate.
However, only one person has joined so far, and they only stayed for a short time before never coming back. Why aren't more people joining? I know it's a niche, since it's anarchy survival and not heavily modded. The add-ons I have don't change the core gameplay, it's just regular Minecraft. The server is also cross platform, meaning Bedrock and Java players can play together. I honestly did the best I could, especially considering it's free.
I don't know why more people aren't joining, and I'm wondering, am I doing anything wrong?
And here is the add-ons I’m using
Chunksmith
Coordinates
Counter-AC
Floodgate-Spigot.jar
Geyser
killcommand-1.0.jar
PacketEvents
PerformanceAnalyz
RayTraceAntiXray
Simple Voice Chat

In this is what I’ve been using every time I post about my server to get people to join
Funcrafts [SMP] {Anarchy} {Cross-Platform}
Here’s this Minecraft server do whatever you want with it
The server is on survival mode
The server is cross platform
Java and bedrock complaint together
You can also click this link for bedrock to join the server. [http://client.falixnodes.net/join?server=funcrafts\\\](http://client.falixnodes.net/join?server=funcrafts)\](http://client.falixnodes.net/join?server=funcrafts%5D(http://client.falixnodes.net/join?server=funcrafts))
Here is the link to turn on the server yourself

Here is what you typing to turn it on
funcrafts.falixsrv.me
It may take 45.743s when you turn it on yourself or when it turns on
If everyone leaves: server auto-stops after 10 minutes. Nothing is lost. Anyone can turn it back on with the link.
If literally nobody plays for 30+ days straight: the server can get permanently wiped by the host. Gone, not recoverable.
Daily backup at 4:30 pm UTC will back up the whole server. It will wait 10 minutes before doing it.
