Hi I found a place that can also answer some of your questions if you DM them (direct message)
https://mstdn.social/@feditips
(also try me if you like)
and let me know if you find other people willing to answer....
I'm starting to make a page here for a tip (more of a list of lists),..not saying it's going to be as good but for new friends right now helps to show them what it can do adn the on board!

Cheers:
P.S... Just in the case you're not sure about DM's. it's the envelope icon that should be selected and showing and not globe or padlock below your text box :)
Ok enjoy (both in usage and finding help)
