What geocaching sites are there? (nord.pub)

I've been geocaching for a couple of decades now, although very low-key. One reason has been that geocaching.com became such a pile of turd some time ago.

What other sites exist beside that one?

Personally I would be most interested in ones that have a reasonable amount of caches in Finland and Baltics, but maybe generating a somewhat comprehensible list of geocaching sites would be of use in general, so maybe let's try to collect one here?

c:geo (the main open source geocaching app) has a list of sources it's compatible with https://manual.cgeo.org/en/mainmenu/settings#services

(It looks like geocaching.su has some caches in Finland.)

It also makes using geocaching.com somewhat more bearable. Unfortunately geocaching.com has a monopoly on the hobby in most places.

Asking this same elsewhere, I already got a reply regarding Finland:

https://www.geocache.fi/ (Finland) (This is basically just an interface to geocaching.com, though.)

I'll be happy to edit this comment to add other ones!
