You can fiddle and diddle all you want with the filter. It probably won't make a difference unless you have excluded most game modes and maps. The fact is: you are either going to find servers with queues of various depths waiting to get into the server. Or, you are going to find servers with one or two "seed" players waiting endlessly for other players to join. This is the way it is now. EA/Dice are the ones responsible for this situation. And they are the ones who have to fix it.

Do not try quick match. Hideous! I always get matched to an empty server. What is that all about?! My stats must read Billy No Mates! It is infuriating that there is no response from EA or DICE when questions are asked about this.
- There are servers, none are populated because no one can play in Australia any more since the last update introduced a nice "3 minutes then kick everyone" feature.

Same here - PS4 (Europe, Poland).
Got the Premium pass but I can't even join any game in QuickMode.
EA servers down for about week or so.

Nope,
Still the same - I've reinstalled whole game and addons.
I'm playing Operations for now, If I go to QuickMatch -> Domination -> only standard maps are working.
If I start any map from DLC I'm only one on server.
IF your server browser filter, is using 'only' - "Oceania", then you will have difficulties finding any servers to join, which has been the case for 2 weeks + now...
"Asian" servers however, seem to be stable and the latency is not so terrible.
Also worth trying, to limit the amount of empty servers, change "slots" to remove the "Any" option...
It's not much but it will mean you can find a server and play with a ping under 150ms, which is totally acceptable.
Good luck!
- I have tried every variation of the filter. The results are the same. I am in North America. On the east coast. I play conquest mostly. What i see is either servers with queues of varying sizes or servers with 1 or 2 players sitting there. And the browser does not give accurate results. It may show a server with 64 of 64, or 62 of 64. Then i try to join and I'm in a queue. Or, it shows a queue but the game loads. BF4 doesn't have this problem. I can usually find a server to play on. EA/Dice needs to implement server load balancing. This problem is annoying and frustrating.

This problem is annoying and frustrating.I have the same problem I recently bought the premium game(on PC) an when I quick match I get put in a empty server with not a single soul in game. I tested BF4 and i can find a server with players no problem. But trying to find a server with actual people in BF1 is a nightmare, when I check the server browser I will only ever get a maximum of 5 servers and they are all DICE official servers and that's with no filters on except for slots to be able to join because all the other servers that I can not see are full and are the official servers no customs. Also add the fact that when I do join a server with good ping it lags like if I was playing on a 500 ping server when it's a 45 ping server and my internet is actually good. If the developers wanted to scare new customers then they succeeded. Oh and I Don't have this problem with BF4 it plays very smoothly.
- I know your frustration. I too, have been playing a lot more BF4 than BF1 due to this ongoing problem that EA/Dice refuse to address. I have also been trying to play the new "Incursions". The matchmaking process was supposed to have been "fixed" so that players wouldn't have to wait in a long time to get into a match. Well, the fix didn't work. It is actually worse than it was before. I used to see a estimated time to join a match of about 5 minutes or so. Now, it is routinely 10 minutes or more. Not much of a "fix" in my humble opinion.
