Us this thread for resources about avatar creation and game recommendations, but don't try to join the meetups.

VRChat has several instance settings, and the only ones that are free to join for a new player are public instances. These sometimes have experienced players in them you can friend to join their friends+ instances later, but just as often it's other new players who just haven't found a subgroup to hang out with yet. You need to have a big friends list in VRChat to have an in to where actual fun is happening, and also to build your user rank to the point where you can upload your own content. There are lots of small and large VRChat communities that hold regular events, many of which are linked from the main VRChat Discord or that you can find by Googling or asking around. The /vrg/ meetups can be fun, especially if you want an in for VR lewds, but it's not a very welcoming community, nor a particularly creative one.
