FableCraft is a semi vanilla server that is inspired by Hermitcraft and even uses the same seed as Hermitcraft season 11. It feels like a chill survival world where everyone is trying to build cool bases and towns together.
The server has normal SMP gameplay with some quality of life commands like home and spawn that have cooldowns and limits. There is also a Dynmap so you can see the world in your browser and you can even add your own markers. You can set a nickname too and make your name colorful so chat looks more fun.
They use a bunch of mods that are like the ones the Hermits use. There are armor stand tools so you can pose stuff. There is proximity voice chat that you do not have to use if you do not want to. There is also a way to silence mobs so your builds are not super noisy.
Spawn is a big mushroom island that works as the main village and the shopping district. The whole server runs on a trust system with strict rules against griefing and cheating. A lot of people choose base locations that are like where the Hermits built or they copy similar build themes.
If you like the Hermitcraft style of playing together and building a shared world this server is really close to that vibe.

I found a recently started vanilla plus SMP that is pretty much set up on the server side with the needed plugins. It is still early so it feels like you can actually help shape how things go.
They have around 10 players right now but it sounds like it is usually quiet with only a couple people on at a time. The owner is looking for someone to team up with and help get the server going.
They want a person who can make videos and they are talking about real affiliate rewards later with shares of store profit once it is established. For now they will advertise your channel to their members and give you a strong media rank. If you want to help in other ways too they are open to that.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPHermit Style SMP With Weekly Events

The community vibe sounds fun and light hearted and supportive. People hang out in Discord and in game voice calls and just talk about random stuff while playing.
There are custom made minigames every week like spleef and parkour. PvP is toggleable and it starts off. Keep inventory is on so losing stuff is less stressful.
