When I came to steemit at the start I had some of the same feelings. But it depends on what your goals and aims are. It also depends on what you bring to the community
There is so much more to steemit to what you see in the user interface, way more. If you want some guidance and help feel free to hop over to steemitbc on discord https://discord.gg/pkKAHRM #steemitbc
another awesome community I think you should check out is #minnowsupport
