I'd start by getting a time machine and returning to a time when 4chan actually mattered.

Beyond that? Don't post anything for the first 2 weeks that you lurk.

Use the catalog button. There I saved you a ton of stress.

There's quite a lot to be found in archives, too - sometimes the catalogue can be bombarded and filled up in order to slide certain threads.

Post your IP address so they can verify you arent a bot. After that it pretty much all opens up and is much more navigable.

The problem is that 4chan has basically become a caricature of itself. /b/ has never been good, but even back in the cancer days, it was fairly honest. Now, it's mostly edgelord shitposting.

ETA: Basically this:

You forgot:

Infiltrated by CTR shills and FBI.

4chan is 80% government employees and paid shills arguing back and forth.

Stay out of /b/, it's a sewer. Go there (the entire site) in "private mode" on your browser.

Put on your racism thick skin if you go to /pol/.

/diy/, /k/, and /ck/ are actually decent forums. Safe for work as well. DIY, Gun Forum, and Cooking/Food respectively.

Oh, as someone already said, use the catalogue.
