The onboarding will offer you a lot of topics to sign up to. These contain communities in them. The idea is to populate subscription feeds, however it can leave some users with a lot of undesired subscriptions if they click too many.

If you wish to roll this back. Go to Settings -> Profile and click the yellow bar. Don't click the red bar!

But welcome, and feel free to post your thoughts here.

!newcomers@piefed.zip for a specific community also devoted to new users to the Fediverse.

Unfortunately it's where people post things, and I've already cut out Facebook, Threads, Xhitter, Insta, whatever, so if I need to find information about something happening, that's pretty much the only place left for me to look (nowadays when there's only like 7 websites in the entire world).

Whether I go once per month or per day during high activity timeframes, it's where some content is. And sometimes not even then: irl, the entirety of Reddit is considered a niche habitat for nerds. So if you want to know a specific thing - like a schedule for a local park, you pretty much have to use whatever they chose to post their content to, or else go without.

Rather go without than consume corporate fascist (but I repeat myself) crap.
