I found a freshly started Minecraft server running 1.19.2 with the Origins mod and a small vanilla plus modpack.
It is whitelist only and they are trying to keep the community small and tightly knit. They say everybody is welcome and the server started yesterday.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPTired of Late SMPs Join Fresh
This is a fresh survival server that is not like those SMPs where everyone is already stacked and the admins vanish and it dies fast.
It runs on 1.21.11 Fabric and it is semi anarchy with light mods. The mods are just small quality of life stuff so it stays smooth and the rest is part of the game.
The world is still new so there are no giant empires yet and it does not feel like you joined late. There is stuff to explore loot to restore and secrets hidden around.
They also do in game rewards community events invite rewards and active development. The vibe is long term not a one week server.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPJoin My New Nation On Eden
Casual nations playdiplomacy and alliancesleadership opportunitiesRoleplay friendly vibesocial survival server
I found a server called Eden MC and it plays like a nations server. It has a lot of minor mods that make the game feel more interesting.
A player started a new nation named Solutus and they are trying to get it going. Right now they do not have members so they are looking for people who want to join and help build it up.
If you like nation servers and you want a place to play then this one seems like a good spot to jump in and be part of a new group.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSemi Vanilla Kingdoms Faction Server Soon
This is a semi vanilla Minecraft server that is starting soon. It uses a few mods but they are meant to not change the gameplay too much.
The main thing is there are 5 kingdoms or nations or factions. Each one is led by a very small content creator that got picked. Other players can join one of the kingdoms and play as a group.
The server has not started yet so it is a fresh start kind of vibe. You join early to learn the info and be ready when it goes live.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
