It's such a welcoming community. When I first started exploring, I was on a laptop that couldn't run FS so ventured into the ATC side as the software can run on essentially anything. I joined a session that had an active ATC and he ATC on-call kept walking me through everything that was happening during low moments.

During my first flight I added a comment to the flight plan that I was new and the ATC walked me through how to startup the plane when running into some issues with the guide as they had been an instructor on the exact plane in a real world setting.

If you are curious about it, just dig right in and someone will help you along the way.
