Using the Bungie website fireteam search function has gotten me many raids. When I do the raid first time I always go for groups with "willing to teach", "teaching" and "chill" titles. I've had a very positive experience from it. I've had one raid that was a bit negative. The leader was a bit short and didn't seem to want to explain too much. However the other four members of my team were all experienced and took over the reigns and helped out with explaining. So in short, my suggestions is use the fireteam search function on the website, but also consider joining a clan and a LFG Discord group. Don't be shy, if people aren't nice, you can always excuse yourself and dip out.

hi , did kings fall this week you will enjoy yourself , by the way im over 71 yrs old

Look at my example, I watched a video on how to do kings fall, joined lfg team, never said it was my first time, but we got it done, not too hard. If you want, just join an lfg, and tell them it’s your first time, and ask if they mind. I bet you 100$ minimum half will not mind. It’s really not as hard as you’d think. Just remember you need to dunk on the daughter who’s shooting at you, lol.

Start with VoG. Find a team however you can. Make sure they are willing to teach.

My advice as a sherpa, Ensure you have a Clear Mic that you are able to communicate with also learn from external guides on the activitie such as youtube, google, wikipedia, sometimes i have seen even guides on P*rnhub.

Shoot me a DM and we can sort something out :)

I regret not raiding. Trying now is “watch vids” to learn encounters. I don’t see the fun in knowing the raid going in. I never see “let’s figure it out”

If you want to get into raiding I highly recommend either Vault of Glass or Deep Stone Crypt, I picked these two solely because they introduce to newer raiders what types of mechanics are to be expected of both them and their team. Below I will list what each raid leans it content heaviest towards that way you can determine which one sounds favourable to you. VOG: Less mechanically intense, more dependant on game knowledge and build crafting (mostly just applies to master mode), currently not worth running outside of the Seal and Master mode for the adept versions of Found Verdict and Fatebringer. Last Wish (LW): Mechanic heavy raid, despite being consider one of if not the greatest raids in Destiny history it is now hilariously outdated especially in regards to its loot and how the encounters work, definitely play this last or maybe second if you want to challenge your brain. Garden of Salvation (GOS): Mechanic heavy and has puzzle elements with less of a focus on traditional raid combat, play this if you want to see how drastically different raiding is to any content in the game, no loot incentive outside of the Divinity quest and the Bow from the first encounter. DSC: Mix of mechanics and combat, easy to digest roles and how they compliment the mechanics, generally considered to be the easiest raid in D2 currently, has some very good loot that might be worth playing for each week. Vow of the Disciple (VOTD): Mechanic heavy first half with a combat heavy final half, build crafting really shines here especially for surviving the 3rd encounter, you will need to be quick to adapt to changing mechanics on the fly, has craftable loot so definitely worth playing 3 times a week if you play all 3 characters. Kings Fall (KF): Mechanic heavy, is the most up to date raid so there will be plenty of teams willing to teach (especially since they get rewarded for it with an emblem), loot is extremely good and craftable, is currently the only raid that will drop pinnacles from every encounter for a grand total of 5 pinnacles a week at a +3 to what you have currently.
