Me and some of my friends decided to play dnd, and are now halfway into Lost mines of Phandelver. But i dont know what to play when we are finished. Do you have any suggestions?
If you want a pre-made campaign, Hoard of the Dragon Queen is relatively straight forward and is available here on DDB (If you are the DM, check the reviews online. Some people really like Hoard, and others not so much). If you want something shorter, a different setting, etc. you can check out the DM Guild that has a lot of inexpensive options. (The only caveat being that magic items, monsters, etc. might not be available in the DDB database without having purchased them via the Monster Manual, Player's Handbook, etc. here on DDB.)
I started D&D with The Essentials Kit, PHB, DMG, and MM.
My advise. I have never. Ever. Played a published adventure. The real fun in DMing is weaving legendary adventures for yourself. The basic books do cost a little too much, maybe. But they are rewarding as hell. Most people go on to buy adventures after that. But never be afraid to buy more sourcebooks, and make your own rules, items, and adventures. Pro Tip: Start off with a dungeon; you just can't go wrong.
The Dragon of Icespire Peak is a good inspirational source. It is probably a good first adventure for everyone.
Essentials Kit costs a couple more bucks than Starter Set, but it's got soooooo much more in it. Also I like the
"Hey you, new player, you obviously aren't thick so go on and make your own character" vibes.
It does not contain all the races, classes, and backgrounds, but is better than hearing your fellow D&D nerds screaming about how stupid this all is. Verdict:
Starter Set: dip in one toe and get some roleplay in there.
Essentials Kit: why hello there if you want the best D&D content you can get in one box choose me for Satan's sake!

Princes of the Apocalypse is set not far from Phandalin, also the new Essentials Kit has new adventures in Phandalin.
Perpetually annoyed that Eldritch Knights can't use Eldritch Blast, Eldritch Smite, and Eldritch Sight.
new Essentials Kit Is also supposedly considered a follow up to the starter kit.. both systems wise and campaign wise in the dragon of icespire peak.

You could probably just run the follow-ups to the essentials kit, since they start around the same level that Lost Mines will finish.
Storm Lord's Wrath is the first adventure, starting at level 7, and is set just around the corner from Phandalin,
