Just started playing, so far i just caught a bunch of pokemon around where I live. I have no clue what I am supposed to do other than that though. Do you just catch pokemon?

Go to a gym and you should have options to do raids/battle/place a Pokmon there.

Go to a location that has them. Parks and stuff are usually filled with them. Look around in game and walk or drive over to them.

Places with a lot of people or large congregations of them will usually have a gym. Like someone said, a park works. Shopping centers, churches, etc.

You would think after all this time they would find a way to allow people to play in the comfort of their own home too.

The name of the game is walk around. Playing from home would defeat the purpose.

I wouldn't say a game minimizing its audience is a good purpose. I imagine the game could have kept a higher player retention if they incorporated ways to play in the real world and at home in a continuous and equally fulfilling manner.

You catch Pokemon via regular way or via raids. Catching Pokemon gives you XP, stardust, and candy for the pokemon. You also get items by spinning pokestops, gyms and trading gifts with friends.

items you can get are different types of berries to help you catch Pokemon or give you more candy, which you use they and stardust to level them up. There's also TMs that change the moves of fast or charged moves, but it's pretty much random and of course every Pokemon has their own moveset.

This game is very much a social game. You can add people IRL, of discord or the Pokemon go board on gamefaqs and exchange gifts that will give you random items. Can also coordinate raids. Several people can fight in raids to catch stronger Pokemon (usually legendaries like 5 stars). You should be able to solo 1 star raids, but when you get to your 30s you will be able to solo 3 star raids.

there's a risk one would be willing to take. it's up to the user to determine the risk.

Well you certainly can. Pokemon will spawn near you live (unless in the boonies, maybe not), and you can do online league battles

You can submit pokestops (dunno if theres still a level requirement) but if they meet the criteria itll become either a pokestop or a gym.

At my old place there was a playground behind my house so I put in a submission and it turned into a gym I could reach from my house.
