Someone asked over here about the best way to get into SCP. I listed a couple of my favorites there, but what do other people recommend?
I usually recommend starting at the beginning and reading forward from there. At some point you may feel like bouncing around. It looks like they’ve broken up the entries into series since I was last there.
Ohhh
Anti-memes is my all-time favorite. https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/antimemetics-division-hub
Its too bad no such SCP division exists.
It’s incredible how good it is. It’s up there as some of my favorite fiction ever.
I’d just go with the all time top rated list
I’d recommend against that, that list is just all the original ones, which aren’t all to good, and don’t give the right impression of the current state of the wiki.
I would recommend reading the wiki pages about the basic parts of the wiki(object classes, MTFs, the format, etc.) Then reading 1 or 2 series 1/2 scps, and then diving into more recent ones. If there’s something you don’t quite get, then you can probably find a page about it.

SCP-882 for an intro to the Church of the Broken God, with several other SCPs linked at the bottom that will draw you into the rabbit hole.
SCP-354 (The Red Pool) because it’s just a classic, with a nice long log entry to read through.
SCP-140, the SCP that founded the Daevites as a faction. No crosslinks, but click on the ‘daevite’ tag at the bottom if you want to browse. Or take a gander at SCP-076 (Abel) if you want to be drawn into a whole other tangentially related rabbit hole, one dug by the Foundation’s own hubris.
Daybreak.
The whole thing and all related AND source SCP files.
Sink or swim newbies. Dive in.
I enjoy listening to ‘the exploring series’ on YouTube.
TheVolgun is another in that same “professional” sort of vein that I really enjoy.
