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?
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:
