I would wholeheartedly encourage you to give it a try! I just watch the drama, but my own experiences at GR have personally been great. I don't interact with many authors and have a private profile, and everyone on my friends list is known IRL or from somewhere like here. I follow a few genre groups for discussion and recommendations, and keep a shelf that's a visual walkthrough of the books on my Kindle that are in genres I don't usually read so that I can look through and find something when I'm looking for something new. Kind of a gallery tour, if you will.
You really get out of it what you put in. Most of my public interaction is in the Librarian group, as I love helping to maintain the database.
