I don't want to sound like a "my way or the highway" guy, but the whole point of the Fediverse is that different instances have different rulesets and, by consequence, different users behaviors. There's nothing wrong in looking for a place that suits your needs.
For example, places like beehaw.org have stricter moderation rules and mild interactions, with less to no shitposting at all, so if that's what you're into might be good for you to take a look.

I get it, but the fediverse is confusing. It’s actually difficult to only see local content, or to know what instance to be on for what content. I think there needs to be some quality of life features to make it clear on how to navigate, and filter etc.

Uhhhh... Just use "local" tab?

[–] Lapistola@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah.. but it took me a while to figure out what that was, and it’s not default. I have to do it every single time.

[–] Martineski@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can change it in the settings

I’ll have to check that out.

Yeah, it might be confusing at first, like everything when it's at their beginning and this secondary aspect will be fixed over time.
In the meanwhile the "quality of life feature" it's still asking around about any subject in their respective communities: go and make friends <3
