I found a completely vanilla Bedrock SMP that is looking for chill players. The community seems really dedicated and friendly and they like to chat.
The owner sounds serious about keeping the rules fair and keeping the server fun. It stays true to normal Minecraft with only a realm management tool for rules and a scoreboard for tracking.
You can build and you can also PVP. Griefing and stealing are allowed too so it can get wild. A new season is starting tomorrow so it is a good time to join.

lapis is used as money and there are basic teleports like sethome home warp spawn and tpa if the other player accepts. the end gets reset every month on the 1st so it is a bad place to base.

It has a custom rank system and it runs gaming nights that actually happen. People also do active voice conversations so it is not just silent chat.

You can trade with other players to get the stuff you need. There is also a crate system that can give special custom items that are not just for looks.
Pets are a thing too and you can get them from crates and also from mob drops. If you worry about griefing you can claim land and use trust so friends can build with you. There are rules you have to follow and they are posted for everyone to read.
Shobies SMP is a survival server that tries to stay semi vanilla but still feel more alive.

After the starting period there will be a communal shopping district. There is also an online live map so you can see what people are building.

It also has McMMO skills so you level up stuff like mining and combat as you play and unlock abilities. There are custom items too like furniture and it is entity based so they plan limits to help with lag.
The world uses Tectonic generation so the terrain looks big and realistic with mountains and valleys and lots of spots to build and explore.
