It's really a bunch of communities. I have a few accounts on different servers; one for general use (medium sized server), one academic (on a pretty specialized server), and one for following open source projects I'm interested in (since early 2020 on a server hasn't been updated for a while so it's lacking features).
Common for all is that people are generally willing to engage in discussions, and it feels more intimate and welcoming than many other social media I've been using. I haven't really seen it be toxic at all. It can, however, be challenging to break out of your little bubble, and especially so in smaller servers where you depend more on finding and following people around the Fediverse.
My advise would be to either try to find a specialized server for something you're interested in, or join a bigger general one if you just want to check it out without putting in the effort. You could always move somewhere else and take your followers with you later on, should you feel like it. :)
