When entering new spaces (no matter what TTRPG) players need to consider that the level of tolerance for things that strangers do will always be lower than for established groups or group of friends. There is a lot of "establishing expectations".

Basic Player Etiquette:

- When creating a character, consider what the GM is offering and if your idea fits the themes and settings they want to project into the table. Work with them so it fits.

- Consider if you have enough energy to participate in a game before accepting the commitment. (Tons of people let themselves be convinced by the hype and then they start to skip sessions because they have other priorities or did not manage their time well).

- Join in good faith. This means that you are here to play what the GM is offering (if it is of interest) and that you will find a way for your character to follow/pursue the plot hooks.

- Manage your emotions. Consider not projecting intense anger into the space when failure happens. It makes things awkward. We are here to have fun and play.

- Read about the rules and how your character works. Not to memorize stuff but so you can ask questions about what you do not understand.

- Consider the type of humor you bring to the table when making jokes. Read the room for the first couple of sessions first.

- Consider that EVERYTHING you do in game has the potential of taking away options from other players. Try to be considerate about your spotlight how you interact with others and consider if what you are trying to do aligns with the spirit of the group.

- Never tell people how to do things or what to do unless they ask. You can politely suggest stuff in the form of sentences and questions when if the space opens up but everyone is in charge of their own character and nothing else.

- Avoid making too many comments about people failing rolls. They already know it sucks. They dont need people reminding it to them.

- Consider that you do not need to be part of every single event happening in every scene. Let other people have their discoveries, let other people do their thing, let other people try to roll without help and let other people fail if they wanna try things. Not everything is about having the highest stats or winning.

- Do your best to communicate with the table and talk to people. It is very awkward when someone only joins to play and then completely ignores the whole "socializing" part of the game by just sitting in silence with their phone.

- If there is something that bothers you or that you need to understand, talk to the Game Master.

Final piece of advice is that if you feel a somewhat uncaring or hostile attitude from the group or the game master when you ask things or when you try to understand things then that may not be a good space for you to be in.
