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.

The subscribed to billions of communities I’m not interested in thing is part of why I haven’t used this account since making it 9 months ago lol. I was expecting it to just subscribe me to like the generic movies/science/news comms or like just the top five mau of each category. Was the button always there and I was just blind?
