I found a new Towny server called GamerHub Towny that started out for streaming and now they are trying to grow it into a bigger community.
The server feels pretty chill and they do not allow griefing or stealing. People are welcoming and ready to help and most players are in the US.
It has ingame ranking that uses ingame money. You also get Dynmap plus player warps and player shops. There is a sell only server shop too.
You can do Jobs and MCMMO. It usually has a few players on but it gets way more active when the owner streams and it can hit 12 or more online.
It supports version 1.21.10 or similar.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPCozy Semi Vanilla With Permanent World
Cozy Craving is a newer survival server that started in February 2024. It tries to stay really close to vanilla Minecraft but still adds a few quality of life tweaks.
The world is a big 14k by 14k map and it will keep expanding over time. The map is meant to be long term and it will never reset so people can keep their builds and farms forever.
Gameplay is hard difficulty with no keep inventory. There are no warps other than /spawn and /home. Players trade with simple chest shops and the currency is diamonds. Elytra can be renewed and one player sleep is enabled.
The community is big on building. You will see towns skyscrapers huge farms and a nether roof travel hub. The server is not whitelisted but it is protected with CoreProtect so staff can track changes and roll back griefing or theft.
Looting griefing and hacking or exploiting are not allowed. Staff are active and friendly across time zones and people can report issues when they happen. Donations are not pay to win and are only for cosmetic perks.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
