Also, as you get going and posting, follow some people on SP, (you can look at my following for some people) as most of them will likely follow you back and boom! More known on the site!
Also, make a bio and don't be afraid to make up a universe or anything for your stuff, people here love some good ol' storytelling and it tends to help your creative flow and whatnot
Don't be afraid to be cringe in descriptions either, unless its unironic brainrot

Sorry to comment twice but yk
Oki baiiiiiiiiiiiii

So, my first major recommendation: go to mods and activate "Overload" and "Fine Tuner", these two are just handy lil tools that can be hard to learn at first (especially Overload) but will pay off in the end
Second off, dissect aircraft other people have made and look at how it all forms together, look at its variables, its FT Code (Overload menu), find what works and peel it out and make it your own
Third, don't go too hard too quick (aka don't shoot for the stars immediately)
Fourth, feel free to take stuff from other people, just make sure to give credits (Don't just repost other people's stuff)
Fifth, when building things, think about how it all goes together. Does the gear actually fit, does the engine actually get airflow, little things like that make planes (especially fictional) go a lot further
Finally, as you get going with building and whatnot, don't build because you want upvotes, build stuff because you want to. Make it nice, ofc, but don't explicitly make it in hopes to hit the front page
And on that note, that ties into don't shoot for the stars immediately
.
All in all, don't worry about the reception of others, worry about how you yourself view it, and don't let others discourage you
Good luck in your builds!
Also
Make a taglist, and add me to it ^^
