I found this server called JuiceySMP and it feels like a small but growing survival world. It is run by a small twitch streamer and they already get around ten or more players on at peak time which makes it feel alive but not super crowded.
The server has random teleport so you can start out in a fresh spot. There is an auction house so players can trade stuff in a cool way and there is also a shop so you can buy and sell gear and blocks. They even have some gambling if you want to risk your stuff for a chance at more.
One of the coolest things is simple voice chat so you can actually talk to people while you play instead of just typing. The community seems really friendly and lots of different people come through the server so you can always find someone to hang out with.
If you like chill survival with an economy and voice chat and you want a place that is not too sweaty this server feels like a good spot to give a try.
