First, it's categorized. The platform uses emoji instead of hashtags and the Discover page has a set of defaults, so clicking on the dropdown at the top of the page will give you some other options. You could also try a keyword search to find posts related to topics you're interested in, and then see if you want to follow those people.
That being said, the second thing to know about the Discover page is that it's hand curated, and I'll be the first to admit that there's a pretty clear bias in the kinds of posts that bubble up. :) For example, I follow @adamcomputer (https://micro.blog/adamcomputer), because, as you can probably guess, I'm very much a nerd. But I don't know that I've ever seen any of his stuff land in the Discover feed. So instead, I sometimes find interesting people and look at who they're following and go from there.
Now, I still very much enjoy browsing the Discovery feeds! But I'll be the first to admit discoverability is, at least in my opinion, still a challenge on the service.
