New and need help figuring out this site. (kbin.social)

I am new here (kbin, but I guess this might post to other websites as well??) and am trying to understand how this place is similar and different from reddit. Is there a good overview somewhere? I already accidentally spammed this question three times as a microblog, whatever that is, and am trying to figure out how to actually do things.

How do I subscribe/join/whatever a community? Can I private message people?
What terminology do I need to know?
What’s up with the following people thing?
How do the points work (agree/disagree, relevant/not relevant, something else…)?
What else do I not know that I don’t know?

Thank you!

So I get the favorite and reduce, magazines, etc. But one thing I haven’t seen anyone talk about is “boost”. What does boost do? I figure it helps to “boost” someone’s comment above others more so than an upvote? Do we only get a set number of boosts to use?

Boosts are like retweets on twitter. There is no limitation on boosts.
