When you're first getting started, it's a good idea to check the "Other" section in Preferences, and select the languages of posts you want to read.
Search engine indexing is also disabled by default, if you wish to opt in to indexing, you can set here as well.
While you're there, might consider checking your notification settings as well. By default, we don't email you very much at all.
