Welcome! There are lots of helpful folks on here, but you will be well served by spending quite a bit of time understanding the layout. There are areas for first cycles, beginner stuff, etc. If you become interested in a source, spend some time in the source chat reading back several days as you can. I think some jump in a little early before they get a good sense of the crowd and that can cause some problems. You want to avoid stepping on toes as much as you can until you know your way around. You get karma for participating, but you can get negative karma too if you are not careful. Getting some time on the site and some good karma can be pretty beneficial. Essentially you can participate in promos and get free or discounted products. When you do get around to asking for input, try to make your questions at least reasonably well thought out/researched. This should get you better feedback. I am just trying to help ease any potential new user rough spots. It’s a good place, have fun!
