Hi there, welcome! There's not really a universal welcome thread, most people just make one like this
The community's really chill and supportive overall, shouldn't have too much of an issue just hopping in and if you see a thread you have something to say on, go for it~
Regarding the site, searching for content isn't as friendly as it could be but some suggestions:
- on the forums here there are many "promote your comics/novels here!" type threads, those can be good (long) lists of content to try out~ some are pretty general (like if you have less than x subs share here!) but others are more specific (like "share your fantasy novels!")
- on the app from time to time feel free to sort your searches by "recent upload". Typically the most popular series are at the forefront but if you sift through those types of lists you can get a bigger sample of the community overall
- on the website (not the app (I think?)) you can also go like Novels -> Trending/Popular and check out some of those series. That's a good mix of small and big creator works that are doing well at the moment (Trending might be like they're having a small surge of interaction, popular is series that are like that frequently xD)
Best of luck, have fun, and feel free to ask questions and what not ^^
