Well, presumably, you visit the community and check it out. There is nothing wrong with what you’re doing and it’s exactly how the natural gravitation to certain communities I mentioned will happen. If you’re not interested in anything other than the content that community offers, then you’re set. If you want to explore more and perhaps get different insights and perspectives on that topic, you’re free to go visit any of the other 12 options and check them out, too.
The problem is how do you know how a community feels?
I search for “word” and see 12 different servers for the exact same word, which would I go for? For now it’s the one with the most subscribers

You browse it and lurk for a bit and see which ones you like the most.
