Nothing wrong with that. You can probably find content of all stripes, but since the platform's new and it's main draw is it's technical capabilities, most of us are somewhere on the "interested in tech" van diagram so that could probably get annoying if you're not interested in it.

It's not exactly like Reddit, it's definitely more of a decentralized Twitter (though there are experimental Reddit style communities being built on Nostr as well - though most clients don't support them atm). Like Valentino said, messages are stored on relays. The thousand foot view is a message is signed by your client using your keypair, uploaded to all of the relays you set your client to use, and then other clients can download your messages from those relays.
