Hey there buddy, welcome to the forums! Glad you are here, it's really a good show (i suggest you to give it a try ), and it's great you gave your friend a chance, and i'm sure you're not going to regret it, as lots of people just don't like to be here for being too judgemental, i was this way first too, but it changed me this community really produces great content and art, and we like to talk about the show episodes and socialize with other people around, helping other people that are having problems in their lives.
if you've got any question, don't be afraid of asking someone here so we can help you!
