Dunno if am on the wrong instance or what ever (freemedia or something) but there's very little content to scroll through. Do I need to ditch this and start again or is this pretty much standard?

I'm new here and I'm finding plenty of content. As mentioned you should subscribe to communities to get stuff coming in. Start at your instance's home page by selecting the instance link top left of the screen.

Most instances default to "local" which is typically limited in content. Under your personal settings you can set the default mode. Set it to subscribed once you've joined a good number of communities and you'll see plenty when you open your instance. You can set it to "all", but you'll get a lot of stuff where you may have no interest.

Also instances can block other instances (defederate them). At the bottom of any page you'll see an "Instances" link. Opening that you can see what instances are blocked. If there's a lot of them I'd find a better instance. The one I'm using has zero blocked instances. Since you can block any community yourself there's no need for someone to make that decision for you.
