It's a great place full of really nice and interesting people from all over the world, I think as a newbie, float around a bit, check out some communities and see what's out there, you'll find a bunch of places you'll enjoy hanging out. Also, engagement is key, make sure to do some reading, commenting and following.

Happy Hiving! I'm looking forward to reading more of your posts.
