I found a new modded kingdom server that is getting ready to start soon. It is aiming for a good seed and it has a low player count right now.
The main thing is a kingdom style vibe where people can join in and help make the server more active. It runs Villager Recruits and more so you can build up your group and have fun together.

TRUE VANILLA Fabric Semi Anarchy SMP

FabricCraft is a survival server that sticks to real vanilla mechanics because it runs on Fabric. It feels like the kind of world where your farms and redstone actually work the way you planned.
It is semi anarchy so you get a lot of freedom with only a few rules. There are no land claims and there are no world resets so the map stays persistent and the story is made by players through alliances trade rivalries and raids.
Hacked clients and mods that give an advantage are not allowed. There is also a simple voice chat mod you can use.
Griefing is banned within 1k of spawn and it is handled by active moderation instead of claims.
There is also a creative world with no plots and no limits on how much space you can use. A lot of players use it to test builds before bringing them into survival.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWhitelisted Vanilla SMP For Mature Players

I found a community based survival server called The Eternal Region. It is whitelisted and it is aimed at mature players who want a calmer place to play.
It stays vanilla first but it also has some quality of life changes. Phantoms are off and endermen cannot grief and you get double shulker shells.
The world border starts small then it grows every day and it is currently 5000 by 5000. It also uses Simple Voice Chat so players can talk while playing.
The server focuses on anti grief protection and respectful standards. It sounds like a place for builders redstone players and explorers who want a long term world to invest in.

BoonCraft is a survival SMP server with a small friendly community and players from all over the world. It is mostly PvE and it has a no griefing policy so people can just build and relax.
There is land claim to protect your builds and player warps so you can show off what you made. The server also runs community competitions and challenges and there is usually something new each week.
The economy feels stable and balanced and you can make money in a bunch of ways like player shops jobs quests the auction house voting and selling items. Custom fishing is a big thing too and you can catch lots of fish types and sizes then sell them to the Fisherman at spawn. There are also server wide daily fishing competitions.
If you want PvP you can toggle it and there is a dedicated PvP arena where fights are safe. You keep your inventory you keep your XP and your items do not lose durability.
There is no pay to win and the store is only for cosmetics. You can also unlock free ranks and special perks just by playing.

SoloCraft is a Solo leveling themed Minecraft server that just opened so it will probably be pretty quiet at first.
When you spawn you are right next to a hand built building where you can get your rank and pick your class.
You can also loot a village right away and the server uses Lootr so everyone can get loot from it.
