Feels good to hear, that you feel a bit the same. I just thinks we both don't have this reputation for Reddit algorithm or maybe mods boost some posts of people they already knew. I am not sure how Reddit works in that way and I am always using chronological sorting on explicit subreddits, so I do not miss any posts. But it seems like a lot of people are more like the frontpage users and our posts just don't show up that much.
