I found this Towny survival server called GamerHub Towny and it is super new. It started as a setup for streaming and now it is trying to grow with more players.
The vibe feels chill but also a little competitive. Griefing and stealing are not allowed so it is more about building towns and playing fair. The community is welcoming and helps new players and most players are in the US.
It has ingame ranking that uses ingame money. There is a dynmap so you can see the world easier. You can use player warps and player shops and there is a sell only server shop. It also has jobs and MCMMO.
It usually has a few players online but it gets way more active during twitch streams and can hit 12 or more online. The version is 1.21.10 or similar.

No Rules Anarchy 1.7 To 1.21.11

I found a full anarchy server where everything is allowed and there are no rules at all. It is made for players who want total freedom and do not want the server telling them what to do.
It runs from 1.7 to 1.21.11 so a lot of different versions can get in. There are no anti cheat plugins so it is truly anything goes.
It also supports Bedrock players using Geyser so both Java and Bedrock can join. It is on a free host with a subdomain but it has performance plugins and it starts up automatically when you join.
GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPParasite Apocalypse Quarantine Survival

This server is a modern apocalypse survival world with a horror vibe where parasites are growing into something that wants everyone dead.
Players start inside a quarantined zone called Alpigus. The wall stays powered for 7 days so everyone is stuck inside until it fails. When the grid goes down the wall opens and the Nether unlocks and the End becomes reachable too.
There is also a big escape timer. Later a nuke drops inside the wall and wipes everything in that zone. If you do not get out in time you are basically finished.
It is not hardcore. There is land claim to stop griefing and PVP. Claims do not stop stealing though so you still have to be smart. You can also toggle PVP inside claims with claim commands.
People are forming teams and looking for more players so it feels active right away.
