When servers host, they can choose to add their own WADs or play without them.
If you, for example, add a Shadow WAD, your game becomes modified and you can only join servers with this Shadow WAD that you added, until you restart the game. You can't join servers that do not have the same WADs that you have added.
If you join a midified game, your game will download the files needed from the server, and your game becomes modified from that point on until you restart the game.
You can also try hosting your own server with the files that you want. But emember that if you host with the game modified, the server will be modified too.
In short, you usually can't join servers if you add WADs. But you can host servers with those WADs.
If you want to join other servers, you should consider not adding WADs.
