Server list for specific place within a universe

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Goal
I am trying to create a server list inside my Lobby place to display servers for the Multiplayer place. I also want to make sure there is a button for players to go to a new, empty server whenever there are none currently open. My scripts right now do not have that functionality.

Issue
I have tried looking for tutorials/help through YouTube and other forums, but I can only find server lists for the place that the list is displayed in.

My setup
My current setup is from HowToRoblox on YT with some tweaks. I have a Servers folder in RS, a ServersHandler with a string value ServerName in SSS, and a LocalServersHandler inside my MultiplayerFrame with the ServerButtonTemplate, NoServersButton, and a UIListLayout. Inside the MultiplayerFrame is a ServersFrame holding the List scrolling frame.
I like the way that this set up works, but I need it to be servers for the Multiplayer place instead of the lobby.

Here are my current scripts:

ServersHandler (SSS)

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local serversFolder = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Servers")
local ms = game:GetService("MessagingService")

local serverId = game.JobId
local serverNamePrefix = "Server_"

-- Subscribe to updates for other servers
ms:SubscribeAsync("ServerList", function(data)
	data = data.Data

	-- Only add or update entries for other servers
	if data.serverId ~= serverId then
		-- Find or create a server entry
		local existingServer = serversFolder:FindFirstChild(data.serverId)
		if not existingServer then
			existingServer = Instance.new("StringValue")
			existingServer.Name = data.serverId  -- Use server ID as the unique name
			existingServer.Parent = serversFolder
		end

		-- Set the value in "serverId,players,maxPlayers" format
		existingServer.Value = data.serverId .. "," .. data.players .. "," .. data.maxPlayers

		-- Remove stale server data after a timeout
		wait(10)
		if existingServer.Parent == serversFolder then
			existingServer:Destroy()
		end
	end
end)

-- Publish server data periodically
while game.VIPServerId == "" do
	local data = {
		serverId = serverId,
		players = #game.Players:GetPlayers(),
		maxPlayers = game.Players.MaxPlayers
	}

	-- Publish current server data
	ms:PublishAsync("ServerList", data)

	wait(5)
end

LocalServersHandler (MultiplayerFrame)

local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local teleportService = game:GetService("TeleportService")

local serversFolder = replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Servers")
local serversFrame = script.Parent.ServersFrame.List
local serverButtonTemplate = script.ServerButtonTemplate
local uiListLayout = serversFrame:FindFirstChildOfClass("UIListLayout") or Instance.new("UIListLayout", serversFrame)

-- Add debounce to avoid overlapping refreshes
local isUpdating = false

-- Function to update the server list UI
local function updateGui()
	if isUpdating then return end
	isUpdating = true

	serversFrame:ClearAllChildren()  -- Clear previous server buttons

	-- Loop through each server entry
	for _, serverValue in pairs(serversFolder:GetChildren()) do
		local serverStats = string.split(serverValue.Value, ",")  -- Use comma separator
		local id = serverStats[1]
		local plrs = serverStats[2]
		local maxPlrs = serverStats[3]

		-- Clone and set up a server button
		local serverButton = serverButtonTemplate:Clone()
		serverButton.ServerName.Text = "Server: " .. serverValue.Name
		serverButton.ServerPlayers.Text = "Players: " .. plrs .. "/" .. maxPlrs

		-- Set up teleport on button click
		serverButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
			teleportService:TeleportToPlaceInstance(game.PlaceId, id)
		end)

		serverButton.Parent = serversFrame  -- Add button to UI
		serverButton.Visible = true
	end

	isUpdating = false
end

-- Initial GUI update
updateGui()

-- Update the server list whenever a server entry is added or removed
serversFolder.ChildAdded:Connect(updateGui)
serversFolder.ChildRemoved:Connect(updateGui)

-- Trigger update when the Multiplayer menu is opened
script.Parent.Parent.MenuFrame.MultiplayerButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(updateGui)

I know this is annoying to some, but I am not too good with scripting, but I do understand the basics.
Also, this is my first time uploading on here, so I apologize if this is hard to understand. Help will be very greatly appreciated.
