There is a lot of helpful information that is discussed, and helpful people that will do their best to answer your questions.
To answer your question a little better, some more context on how new to D&D are you would help... Do you have a group of friends that you play with? Have you read through the Basic Rules?
Is there a specific topic you are looking for helpful tips for?
Let us know and people will be happy to help out :)
Cheers!

Breathe, dragons; sing of the First World, forged out of chaos and painted with beauty. Sing of Bahamut, the Platinum, molding the shape of the mountains and rivers; Sing too of Chromatic Tiamat, painting all over the infinite canvas. Partnered, they woke in the darkness; partnered, they labored in acts of creation.
I’m not sure how familiar you are with the game yet, but I’d still recommend watching other’s play online and/or in person to get a feeling of what it’s like in general and what it’s like at certain tables, as each experience can vary slightly.
For online gameplay, there’s always Critical Role or sometimes playthroughs sponsored by this site itself, but I personally prefer Dungeon Dudes. They are about 8 episodes (about 16 hours) into their latest playthrough Seasons of Silence.
As far as in-person gaming, try using Google of Facebook to search for local groups that may have game nights. That’s how I found my group. A lot of them will have/allow content sharing so you will have acess to things you would have to pay for and may not even be available for purchase anymore.
Lastly, don’t be afraid to ask questions on here. I’ve found there are plenty of people that are willing to help.
I will second the recommendation that you watch the videos by the Dungeon Dudes. Their live play videos are pretty good, and they have a LOT of other videos that cover a good chunk of the rules, as well as analyzing things like subclasses and feats without getting too technical, so they are easy for a beginner to the game to watch.
I know when I started that dice.... confused me. I didn't understand why I would need more than a d20, so I highly recommend that you get familiar with dice and what they're used for! Also, as the others on this thread have said, watching playthroughs and campaigns makes it far easier to understand the rules of DND.
I personally learned a lot of my knowledge through listening to Just Roll With It: Riptide, which is really funny, very well thought out, and the players make their characters really convincing. It can be helpful for learning mechanics without actually having to listen to an explanation, not to mention it sort of shows you how roleplay works within the game. Their patreon also has a TON of campaigns for a very low price if you want to see even more content from them.
Good luck, and feel free to reach out to anyone on the forums for help!
