Then how would we ask questions about the instance? :) Especially when someone has problems logging in.
Don't worry, you're not the first and definitely not the last ;)

As to your original question, my subscription list was also a little bit thin a few days ago. I spent some time looking for communities, sometimes subscribed to "gaming" instead of "elite dangerous" and I don't feel there is lack of content anymore. Also, since many communities are new, created by new users, for now we have to accept subscribing to 5 thematically the same communities on different instances. I think there will be a grassroots consolidation move soon.
