If you're worried that you may have joined the wrong mastodon server / instance, these instructions include information about how to export accounts you follow as well as accounts that follow you (most sets of instructions only cover the latter)

Find an instance that suits you - it doesn't need to be one of the massive servers; a more specialist one may have a local timeline & moderation policies that suit you much better!

@hierofalco My read is they don’t think it’s relevant because they don’t really see themselves as part of a wider community

They really just set up an instance without thinking at all, didn’t they? Even a little experience of twitter should have been enough to give them a basic understanding of what mods do - but apparently not
