Question about instances (lemmy.world)

I have been on Lemmy for a while now but never posted anything as a new post so please forgive me if I am doing anything wrong.

I see that I am part of lemmy.world and that this instance is frowned upon.

Is there a better instance I can join? I am not very clued up on Lemmy and as far as I can see it is made up of lots of different sites which are linked together.

I just want to be part of a healthy group and I am just getting into astronomy so are there any good groups for that please?

If it helps I am based in the UK.

Have a great weekend all.

Edit: sorry for the late response another 6 day week at work. Thank you all so much for the very useful advice!

Don't worry about it. If you don't post anything they disagree with (and most people don't), you will not be annoyed by them.

If you have only mainstream opinions, you will be fine. You don't question mainstream science, you think everyone needs to vaccinate for the public good, and so on. Nothing strange for the majority.
