I live in Estonia and i really want to participate in actual activism but there are apparent options. The only 'leftist' party here (Estonian United Left Party) is the decrepit remains of the communist party. After the 2023 parliamentary elections, the now former leader was replaced with a member of the 'right-wingers ' party by court order after getting a record of 2.4 percent of the vote that year.

They recently rebranded and are now pro eu, pro nato and dont have any mention of socialism on their website. They are at best social-democrats now, they used to be at least some form of eurocommunist but thats over now.

What do i do now?

Look if there's any help needed in your local soup kitchens, mutual support orgs, homeless and animal shelters, orphanages, community centers, refugee service providers. Activism is about being active, not labels. And you are very likely to meet like-minded people there, who might introduce you to more politically oriented causes if that's more your vibe.
