Recommended Matrix instances?

I am just wondering what matrix instances are recommended. I would rather not use the main matrix.org instance, but I still want something with good up-time, updated software and that is privacy respecting.

Thanks!

~~Update: I am trying arcticfoxes, thank you for all of your suggestions! Feel free to leave more as it may help others who come across this post in the future.~~

Update 2: I had an issue with cross signing, but it works on envs.net so I am assuming it’s an issue with the arcticfoxes instance. I am now using envs.net. As I said before, feel free to leave more suggestions for others who come across this post.
