Hulu just has season one, there's quite a bit more than that. But welcome to steven universe, I promise that the fandom isn't super insane. At least, the people I've interacted with have been solid, decent human beings!

I started watching it a few days ago. I wasn't very impressed. I think the lgbt community just latch onto it for promoting lgbt, regardless of show quality. can u blame us tho

I actually really love SU (as you can tell by my not-so-obvious avatar) the fandom is like pretty awful but I just watch it for the show and try not to get involved with the toxic members of the fandom..

Trust me when I say it's a slow burn. As you move through it, it does get better and I personally regard it as a surprisingly sophisticated show. However, I understand that it's not to everyone's tastes, so your opinion is valid!

i just watch it and stay away from anyone who does
it starts off really weird and goofy but starts getting a deeper plot and better as you go on

i've heard the fandom is pretty awful too, but the show itself is fantastic! it does take a while to get off the ground (like Sootfeather says), but believe me when i say that the show really does become amazing.
i wouldn't say Steven Universe's real strength is specifically lgbt+ representation tho (although the show definitely isn't afraid of it, what with a few of its main characters casually and openly being lgbt+). its biggest strengths so far, i think, have been its positive portrayal of women (and don't give me anything about "the gems are technically genderless bc they're alien rocks" tbh, it's called subtext and they are clearly perceived and portrayed as women in the show, not to mention that their pronouns are all female) and its messages about the importance of consent and respecting and loving yourself (and not just other people). the show's had a lot of minor themes in specific episodes that are incredibly important too ("Keystone Motel" and "Alone At Sea" anyone?), not to mention how diverse the people behind the scenes are.
i could ramble about how great this show is for a long time omg. anyway, SU is definitely a great show and i love that you guys are watching it! i hope none of you are disappointed before you reach season two. (and if anyone wants to know a really good place for episodes, just ask! although if you can watch it on cartoon network i recommend that too, since it helps support the show.)
