What exactly do you need help with?
The forum is divided in different sections, so depending on the subject you're interested in, you can read those and post questions if needed. Most sections have a stickied thread with the most helpful posts, always interesting to read those.
Aside from the forums, you can add friends - they can see your newsfeed and they can see yours.
Adding friends is a bit tricky with the forum having been revamped recently.
What works for me for adding friends (using the browser on my phone or my desktop to consult the forums):
- tap on the username of the person you want to add: a window will pop up
- tap on 'view profile': you'll be taken to their forum profile
- edit the web address of the page by removing 'community.' at the beginning and you'll be taken to their profile, where you should see a button 'add as friend'
There are also groups and blogs, but I don't really use those features, so I can't say much about them.0
