I can respect that, but as a user who has just made an account, I am hesitant to clog the place up with a multitude of questions, particularly when I expect there are others like me who would be asking the same questions at the same time.
I am receptive to learning more, but being new, I don't know where to ask and there doesn't appear to be a resource readily available I can go to in order to learn that.
As a result I would think being proactive versus reactive might save everyone some time is all.
Furthermore, most of the talk on reddit is to join via lemmy.ml at this point, so regardless of best practices, it should be expected this is going to be the entry point for most new people at this time.
