Groups have levels.  See the manual:
info://Gnus/Group+Levels

| All groups have a level of "subscribedness".  For instance, if a group
| is on level 2, it is more subscribed than a group on level 5.
| ...
|    Remember:  The higher the level of the group, the less important it
| is.
| ...
|    It is recommended that you keep all your mail groups (if any) on
| quite low levels (e.g. 1 or 2).

The built-in help system will tell you a bit about most functions:
`C-h f gnus RET'

| `gnus' is an interactive compiled Lisp function
| ...
| If ARG is non-nil and a positive number, Gnus will use that as the
| startup level.

So use...
   `C-u 2 M-x gnus RET'
...to start Gnus reading only groups at level 1 & 2, which is where
your mail groups should generally be.
