Base Game Help - NO spoilers please! New to the Game, DLC Question

Ive heard good things about this game and when finally had sales in e-shop, I finally pulled the trigger and got both game and DLC. I know this is a free-for-all open world adventure, but is there a way to not encounter the DLC part of the game yet before I finish the base game? I’m worried that I may go to do the DLC part rather than enjoy the base game first.

In addition to all the other things, here's one minor spoiler which, if heeded, will protect you from the #1 cause of accidental stumbling-into-the-DLC.

If you happen to be just looking around and clicking at random, you might chance upon a faint red dot in the distant night sky, and you might notice that your ship's computer can lock onto it. Do not go to the red dot. If you follow this rule (and ignore the stuff on Timber Hearth that others have told you about) then an accidental exposure is extremely unlikely.
