Hearthbound is a Java survival SMP that feels like it is built around people first. The world is meant to last and they are not planning resets so you can actually keep working on your builds and progress.

The server is semi vanilla and it aims for a respectful and positive vibe. They want players who talk and work together and stick around. They also say they do not allow toxicity and they try to grow slowly to protect the community.

It is whitelist only so you have to fill out a short application. Applications are checked within about a day and then you can join if you fit the vibe.
