Other perfectly conventional e-prints will be found here simply because the authors were not able to find a suitable endorser for the arXiv or because they prefer a more open system. Unfortunately I expect that this has not turned out to be the case. Why? Because so many cranks and crackpots submit stuff to viXra that it has become known as - as said by a fellow HN'er in this thread - "the favorite preprint server for pseudoscience". Meaning viXra doesn't "not have a reputation" but rather it actually has a negative reputation. So if you're a serious researcher who happens to operate outside of formal academia, and you have something you want to share, you're actually better of not submitting to viXra. You should just post to your personal website and then share with Twitter, LinkedIn, Mastodon, Facebook, HN, whatever. You could also upload your paper to sites like academia.edu or ResearchGate which might help get it some visibility among academics.
