How hive really works

Hello everyone, hope you doing good and staying safe, because that's more important right now. Another thing that is important for me right now is that, I need a detailed explanation on how this platform works. I am sorry I am asking this here but plss know that I have tried reading about this on Google but I see so many unrelated things that just get me feeling frustrated. I am really in need of explanation on what to do, what not to do, how to go about voting, participating in other things on this platform, but to mention a few. I had really appreciate it if someone turned up and do this for me in the comment section. Once again I am sorry for this if I am violating any rules but I feel this is the only avenue to use to let people know my problem getting used to this good and nice platform.
