Over the last few years my family and I have binged all of Star Trek, then moved on to Star Trek adjacent shows like The Orville and Stargate. At the moment we're not really watching anything sci-fi. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar shows (or maybe some books) that fill the void left by Star Trek. In particular I really like the episodes that deal with interacting with other civilizations, diplomacy, and exploration more-so than say, an anomaly episode.

I'd say the The Expanse fits the bill. It is a book series with a very successful television adaptation.

100%. Just finished watching the entire series a couple days ago and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'd have enjoyed it a lot more with a better main character. He really is the blandest white man in the universe.

the infuriating thing is that according to the books he is a pretty unique mix of ... checking ... ”the only child in a family co-op of five fathers and three mothers“

they could have done almost anything with the character in terms of appearance and chose this sigh
