Welcome and Hello!
One of the resources not mentioned yet is the Forum itself.
You might find help in Annotations - not every story has one, but a lot of the references may get clarified - and in the Featured Documents section, which gives some of the in-universe background stuff that might help.
And you can always ask if something doesn't quite make sense or gel for you - while taking a thread over 50 replies can sometimes cause High Weirdness, it's not like we're paying for this stuff by the electron and bit.
