Glossary / handbook pages — quickest way to learn platform terms without getting overwhelmed?
I keep running into “handbook” pages that explain different terms used across online platforms, but some of them feel like a wall of jargon.
I’m not trying to become an expert — I just want to understand the basics so I can read posts without constantly guessing what words mean.
If you’ve found a good way to learn the common terms quickly (especially on mobile), what’s your approach?


I like glossaries that use plain language and give a quick example for each term. If it’s all definitions with no context, it doesn’t stick. This page is a solid reference for that kind of term list format: https://www.az-ar.com/bonus-terms/
