i actually started using it more recently too, expecting it to be retarded but i guess it depends on which subreddits you go to
im subscribed to mainly gaming ones such as /r/gaming, /r/dwarffortress and /r/crusaderkings, along with /r/anime
just find subreddits that go along with your interests, then when you've subscribed to one, when you go to the front page of reddit it will list posts from the subreddits you've subbed to
example of front page:
