Hello Cora!
I tend not to recommend FCs or IC groups since their each very nuanced communities with their own habits and trends, but I will say the HoD is a group i've seen get traction with many people and all my interactions with their members have been positive!
Not having much experience in MMOs is totally okay, and its unfortunate you're getting a hassle for it, the industry needs new people! fresh eyes and willing minds! But anyroad I have a few links i'd like to share with you that will hopefully help you get your feet wet with both the community and RP in Eorzea.

This welcome post will cover a bit of an introduction to the site as well as mention and link to some of the popular resources here. The wiki hosts character profiles and lore, the forums are a hotbed of discussion, the Calendar hosts a number of events.
Speaking of Calendar, this Saturday on Balmung two events are happening!:

The Harbingers of Dawn are hosting an Date auction of a kind, and there is the Coffer and Coffin tavern night. both great chances to see whats out there!
If you'd like to brush up on your RP skills without diving head first in game, the RP handbook by Eva is an excellent resource that can be found here:

"Intermission" is a hub of interaction for roleplayers across the server of all different types. Want to know where people are, what they're up to and if you can join in? this is a great place to find out! Heck even if you're a little shyer or prefer just to listen you'll catch plenty of interesting information here that will help you get to know the people you meet out in the world.

"Balmungs Finest" is all about the PVE, Dungeons, Primals, Raids. If you need a group to slog through some content with this is a great place to start. Unsatisfied with Duty Finders telling you to rush through stuff on your first time? want to farm a dungeon for some gear? this is a great place to start!
Hope I haven't bored you to tears, please remember that the RPC is here to help. Ask all sorts of questions, poke around the forums, maybe throw together a character wiki, theres lots to do and plenty of people to meet!
Best of luck in Eorzea, and feel free to flag me down if you see me running about in Thanalan
