Planning a trip to Europe in late Spring. I’m looking for unique community collectives to visit, such as hacker houses, hacker venues, co-ops, diy/anarchist venues, and any other places that prioritize community involvement, collaboration, activism, learning, and organizing. My intention is to learn all I can about such places, and try to build something similar back home.

This page[1] calls these co-living spaces hackbases, and lists a few in Europe.

You will certainly find some unique experiences from hacklabs/hackerspaces. Also, please do not hesitate to ask about residencies or other short-term accomodation possibilities. It might not be the luxury resort, more likely a sofa, kitchenette and shower next to the actual lab.
A new one just opened in Finland called FR8, saw Andreas Klinger share it on X, looks kinda neat.
Somewhat related, if you’re looking to crash at a hacker’s home, I run https://hackercouch.com.
Did they agree to have their e-mail exposed through the api?
The data source is a GitHub repo that you have to manually fork and add your info to (in plain text), so yes.

In general, you can always visit the local CCC chapters. They usually have always an open for guests day per week that you can go to meet them. If you're in Berlin, gotta visit the C-Base, the original spaceship :D
