So I have no idea how to play and I don’t plan on figuring it out until I start playing, lol.
Me and two other friends just downloaded it for free this weekend. I opened it and there are lots of servers... which one is the best? I’ve never played a server game before, like Rust or anything lol.
Also, how do people work? I think we have to join the same server every time, so if a server gets full, we can’t play on our saved games?
And should I join a busy server or one with fewer players? Will they try to kill me? etc.

I’d just play my own game and have fun with my friend like that. But your friend would only be able to play when you’re playing.
If you choose this path, it depends on what you’re aiming for. Various servers have different rules and settings.
Probably, people are dicks

Official servers are available. PvP is turned off in those servers. You can share your save with friends in games like Raft, etc.

Yeah, PVE has PVP turned off.
I haven't had to send a save to someone, don't think there's ever a reason to really. I'm sure you can though.

It's hard to picture a server that's always full, so you should be fine.
I'm not entirely clear on what you're referring to by "can't play on our save" — the server data is about the servers, not your computer.

I'm really confused about this. My friend suggested making your own copies of the online stuff, but when I tried to follow their advice, I got a warning that says do x8 but the system only allows up to 6. Also, I'm not sure if that's because of a percentage setting.

Don't stress too much about it. This adjustment will alter the speed at which baby dinos grow into big boys. 6x is acceptable. I usually played on 3 as well.
