"HSDir" -- A router is a v2 hidden service directory if it stores and
    serves v2 hidden service descriptors, has the Stable and Fast flag, 
and the
    authority believes that it's been up for at least 96 hours (or the 
current
    value of MinUptimeHidServDirectoryV2).

"Fast" -- A router is 'Fast' if it is active, and its bandwidth is 
either in
    the top 7/8ths for known active routers or at least 100KB/s.

If you look at the concensus health 
(https://consensus-health.torproject.org/), go to the bottom and enter 
your relay nickname you will see what each of the authorities think 
about your relay.
moria1 and bastet are very stingy about handing out HSDir. I don't think 
any of my relays ever has gotten it from them.
Of the rest, the authorities that think your relay is "Fast" has also 
awarded it HSDir. Unfortunately 3 don't think the relay is "Fast" so no 
HSDir. And with only a 4/9 vote the relay don't get the HSDir flag.
