Question about Galaxies and Settlements

Question

First off I'm not new to the game, been playing off and on for years, but I have a bad habit of making a new character or two after every major patch or absence. I am now building a long term character and plan to have bases in multiple galaxies.

My main base will eventually be in either Eissentam or one of the later lush galaxies, but I want to take advantage of being able to teleport to bases in previous galaxies.

I'm guessing from posts that Hilbert Dimension, Calypso, and Eissentam are the main colonized galaxies. I'll probably also make one in Budullangr just to have an empty galaxy.

Are there any other galaxies that are popular or have established communities? Anything I should take into account beyond the base limit?

Thanks to any who answer.

The galaxies accessible via the main mission line are the most popular, but you'll probably find galactic civs in most (if not all) of the first dozen galaxies. I would check out the NMS Federation sub for info (r/NMS_Federation/).

Thanks. I've seen the Federation page before but for some reason it didn't occur to me to check it out for this purpose.

Euclid is highly populated, I believe. Not sure of any others, but I seem to recall Euclid having by far the highest player count.

Thanks for the response. Given that everyone starts out in Euclid I didn't mention it, but yes, I do plan to maintain at least one base there.
