I found a server that feels like a small experiment with big consequences. It starts as a small group and it never goes over 10 players so every person matters.
It is like a life steal vibe but without stealing hearts from others. When you die you pretty much lose 2 hearts and after you die 5 times total you get banned so you have to play careful.
It supports voice chat and that can make random alliances and betrayals happen fast. There are no land claims so bases can get raided and fights can pop off when people get geared.
There are no resets and there are no shops teleports or homes. It is just survival and whatever drama the players create.

GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPSolterra SMP Chill Towny Progression
Solterra is a small survival server where people mostly build and chill. It has around 26 active players daily so it feels social but not huge.
It uses Towny so you can claim a place and work on a town with others. There are Jobs and mcMMO too so you can level up while you play and keep progressing.
The economy is player driven and there is also a server shop for blocks you cannot naturally get in game. They also just added PyroFishing and a lot of people are really into it.
There is a free progression system with new nature themed rank tiers. If you like collecting stuff there are over 100 plushies to find.
It is not really a PvP server but there is a duel arena if you want to fight. They also run on dedicated hardware now so ping is solid for NA and EU and it supports Java 1.21 with multi version support. There is also a Valentines day event with items you can buy using in game money.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNeed 5 Players For Modded Survival
I found a server where the owner is trying to get a small group together. They want around five people to join and play.
To get in you need the Crackers Wither Storm mod and TACZ. It sounds like the whole point is to play together with those mods and just have people to team up with.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPWhimsyWillow Modded SMP Season 3

The Lab SMP is a small tightknit server that just started a fresh season of vanilla survival about two weeks ago and they want more people to join.

It uses proximity voice chat and dynmap is coming soon. There is a shopping district at spawn built above an open ancient city.
