I feel like most posts on Lemmy are irrelevant to me, and they don’t refresh much, is this how Lemmy is like or is this just because I’m a new user?

A few ways I’ve found communities that interest me:
Community promotion communities such as https://lemmy.ca/c/communitypromo provide pointers to topics of interest.
A good Lemmy client goes a long way toward facilitating content discovery; I’m a Voyager user, and it supports sorting Home (subscribed) and All (unsubscribed) post feeds in various ways including New, Active, Scaled, Controversial, etc.
When I was new to Lemmy, I used Voyager’s subreddit migration tool to match communities with my interests (see https://vger.app/settings/reddit-migrate ) – I believe Artic and a number of other clients have similar functionality.
Just browsing the All feed has helped me find communities (and compile a list of things to block!)
https://feddit.nl/c/trendingcommunities Is also a good source of active community information.
