Does anyone have any suggestions on finding CS papers worth reading beyond those papers listed here?

Follow the citations of papers you liked. Note the authors and read their other publications.

Look at other papers in the same conference. Watch conference videos on YouTube.

Skim at first, and then reread papers that pop back into your mind.

In my experience, you read a lot of papers that sound interesting and then some of them turn out to be good.
What topics are you interested in? Following the top ACM and IEEE conferences in that area is a good start!

For example, I'm interested in human-computer interaction so I read CHI and UIST papers each year, and for software engineering I read ICSE and FSE.

Ah, if only CHI and UIST had good papers these days. :/
Hey, I had a CHI paper this year! I think it publishes many great papers each year.
Welcome to the echo chamber.

In my experience, the only people who think CHI publishes great papers are the people publishing at CHI.

(Disclosure: I've published at CHI a few times myself. I'm done with it.)

A company recruited me at CHI for an internship/collaboration and implemented portions of my research into their product, so it isn't a complete echo chamber.
Cool! What company and product? I'd love to see a positive example.
I remember LISA and USENIX.
