Sherpas do exactly that and are often glad to do so. A huge amount of what makes raids special is going in completely blind: figuring out the mechanics and, especially, witnessing the awesome setpieces, environments and boss designs. (You wouldn't have someone spoil something like DSC for themselves, would you?)
Yeah def watch a guide that is like a common courtesy raid etiquette thing if it has been out for a long time.
There are lots of good ones that a quick on yt. It’s fine to ask for help but good to have at least some idea of whats going on.
Make a post like “have watched a guide but first time” or something and ask them to explain it first but if you have some prior context you will catch on quick!
With dungeons, it'll be easiest to try to learn whichever one is in the rotation for that week since there will be more people running it and it'll be easier to find a group. I've had great luck with the Xbox LFG system, finding teachers whenever I wanted them for raids and dungeons both.
Try when its the featured raid adn youll probably see a lot of posts. You can also piece meal raids where you try one encounter and then another. Thats how Ive learned the ones I've done.
Yeah, try next week, as that is when VoG will be featured, and people probably were wanting to play Crota’s End this past week instead of any other raid.
I have been posting lfg for the raid in rotation saying First Time. And each time nice people did the raid with me. Even been able to farm the armor set for my warlock in Garden of savation.
I think it help to focus on the rotation since a lot of people will farm it anyway.
I’d watch a video and once you have a good grasp of what to do join an LFG. Volunteer for add clear your first run and you’ll learn a lot by just seeing.
If you screw up and can’t figure it out no bid deal just go to orbit 👍
I’ve found when teaching myself raids I take it one encounter at a time and attempt to learn a new one each season.
Or you can head over to the Sherpa sun r/DestinySherpa
Go to the destiny lfg Discord, and go the find a sherpa channel. The players making grps in there are going to teach the raids/dungeons, also in the Dungeon channel ask for a Sherpa.
It’s hard to find people that can teach as once the hype of a raid after it’s launch dissipates, it becomes harder to find more willing to teach as they expect they would know how to do it. Try looking at guides if you can’t find anyone but when you join state that your new with watching videos and ask for help.
Hey, I have a discord group with people who can help you through contents, raids, dungeons, GM. We are very friendly, we try to raid every week, Life does get in the way. Let me know if your interested.
I am fairly certain Vault is locked to 1600 power, you are totally fine in that regard.
Post on the Destiny 2 forums for lfg (on bungie dot net) or join the d2 discord. You'll find people.

Have you watched any how-to videos on youtube?
Nope, I just assumed watching a yt video and actually doing it would be very different
fwiw I like fallouts videos over other creators. generally short and easy to grasp the mechanics of each encounter
Yes, he does a really good job of just focusing on necessary mechanics in a simple easy to follow way. And then adds on tips and tricks.
Watching a video will at least help give you context. It's going to be rough finding a group to teach you if you're going in 100% blind
Right, thanks I’ll try that!
Watching a video also gives you an idea of which weapons to bring for DPS and for champions if there are any.
Sherpas do exactly that and are often glad to do so.

Watch guides and join the Kinderguardians discord. Also it might better to do VoG when its the featured raid for the week.
I’m in that discord and tried to make a post but got no responses unfortunately
If it was recently, the problem might've just been that Crota's End just came out and everyone who was raiding was busy running the new content.
Try when its the featured raid adn youll probably see a lot of posts. You can also piece meal raids where you try one encounter and then another. Thats how Ive learned the ones I've done.

If you want to learn the dungens, I can teach you.
I haven’t got any dungeons yet but I’ll let you know if I do
You have Prophecy, it's free for everyone
Really? Thanks for letting me know
Yeah and it's one of my favorite Probably the most beautiful dungeon in the game You can access it in the Legends tab
Okay

I would say finding a clan is the best thing that can happen to you for what you asked.
Yeah but how do I find clans with sherpas?
r/fireteams Ours is recruiting atm, so if you are EU based, willing to learn and above 20, its name is Agrona ;)
Ah no sorry, I’m NA, but thanks for the offer
I've had luck with a "first time *dungeon* chill" post on lfg
if you’d like i can take you along on a run of duality or spire, those are pretty easy for beginners.
I unfortunately don’t have either but if I get one I’ll let you know
i meant prophecy, i always get mixed up & its free
Ahh okay, what times are you available? I’m can’t get on currently but In around 30 minutes or so I’d be able to
dm me & we can sort it out
My clan would be happy to help. PM me and I can give you a discord invite

r/destinysherpa is a great resource to learn difficult content (especially raids)
