I would recommend picking up a play podcast. Great way to get introduced.

If you’re looking for a group online the lfg subreddit is the place to go. Most people there are very welcoming of new players, and you can catch on quick through play.

Sadly the LFG here on lemmy is lacking, I’ve been trying to get a group going for a while with no luck, so currently reddits the only real option for online dnd

That’s the beauty of DND, you can play however makes you happy :)

It’s honestly a lot of fun if you can get a good group together. The hardest part is scheduling.
