I found a Vanilla+ survival server that is all about working together and being part of a community.
They run monthly events so there is always something going on. They also do build competitions so you can show off your builds and see what everyone else makes.
It looks like they really want new players to join and just hang out and play together.

Bedrock survival realmcommunity driven storiespeace or warprogression based questsQuest reward system
This is a casual Bedrock Realm that keeps things mostly vanilla with only a few changes meant to improve what is already in the base game.
Players can take part in quests that give rewards so progression feels more earned over time.
The big focus is player driven lore and events where everyone can show up and take part. You can start a city state and stay peaceful while you build it up or you can get into wars. It gives room for both builders and PVP players to have their moment.
There are a few rules so the realm stays fun and still feels free.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCrafted Survival Semi Vanilla SMP
Crossplay friendly serverexplore and settlegolden shovel claimsPlayer Run Economyplayer shop culture
I found a semi vanilla SMP server that is all about community and building cool stuff while still feeling like real survival.
It has a diamond based economy so people trade with diamonds and run player shops. There is also a shops menu so you can browse stores fast or set up your own.
Claims are a big deal here since you can protect your builds with golden shovels. It is PvE focused with no griefing and it also does not use keep inventory.
Java and Bedrock players can play together. There is a live world map you can check in your browser and separate resource worlds so the main world stays clean. You can also earn ranks and vote rewards and there are weekly events with a friendly community.

This is a new survival multiplayer server that is starting fresh and it supports Java and crossplay so more people can join.
The vibe is meant to be chill and more about building with friends. Teams can make their own towns plus community centres and other shared places.
There is custom terrain and custom items and other extra stuff. Players can also open their own shops and run a little economy.
There is a new parry system for fights. Bedrock players use Bedrock pvp and Java players use Java pvp and it is meant to stay balanced so it feels fair with different opponents.
