Welcome!

This place is not quite as active as Reddit, simply by virtue of the userbase being a lot smaller. But I've quite enjoyed the past three years I've been on this platform.

My first recommendation would be to subscribe to some communities (equivalent to subreddits) you are interested in.
The main communities are mostly covered, but if they are particularly niche they might either be rather quiet or simply don't exist yet. At that point the only real way is to get them going is to contribute yourself.

Also, small piece of potentially unsolicited advice:

spoiler

If a community is hosted on a domain that ends in .ml, they are likely a "Marxist-Leninist" (authoritarian communist, aka "tankie") community. The same holds for individual users.

The moderation in tankie communities (e.g. lemmy.ml) is generally not very great, in my experience.
They tend to not be particularly accepting of any criticism of their beliefs, so these places tend to turn into an echo chamber.

Personally I blocked lemmy.ml, and the overall Lemmy experience has been better for it.

Enjoy your stay :)
