Try out the Wayfarer's series! Becky Chambers is amazing. Her books are wholesome and character focused, and give you a great feel of what it would be like living in that setting.

I also really like Brandon Sanderson's Cytoverse. It's a fantastic adventure that will keep surpsing you, but it is YA, so be ready for a little silliness.

Yay!!! I’m so happy I’m not the first to mention Becky Chambers.

Octavia E. Butler is right up there too if OP has never read their stuff.
