    I’m a big science fiction reader. Mostly I:

    • Look up lists of winners and nominees for the big awards (Hugo, Nebula, Arthur C Clarke)
    • Read reviews for successive books in a series when I liked the earlier ones
    • Find articles on the top SF books of all time or by year, written by respectable sources
    • Get recommendations from friends who also read SF
    • Occasionally post threads in the SF community here on things I’ve read and see what comes up in the comments

      I recommend a fantastic niche subreddit r/printSF to you as well. I’ve found many great books there and enjoy the discussion too. Sorry for reddit but that community isn’t nearly as active here, although it definitely has the potential to be since I always see enthusiastic discussion about SF books from Lemmyngs whenever they’re brought up.
