I feel like most posts on Lemmy are irrelevant to me, and they don’t refresh much, is this how Lemmy is like or is this just because I’m a new user?

Honestly, I’d be curious how many active users we actually have. I wouldn’t be suprised if it was fewer than 1000 who contibute (including just voting) when excluding the authoritarian instances and spam.
Do any instances publish these stats?
52000 monthly active users (so vote, post or comment): https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats
I don’t know how accurate the stats are, but around the bottom of each instance sidebar they have a breakdown of users per day/week/month. I think that’s supposed to pull not from signed in visits but whether they were active by voting/commenting/posting.
Excluding the instances you mention, there’s still a sizable amount of people active if those stats are reliable.
You can see the weekly/monthly stats aggregated in the list view of instances on Lemmyverse:
