How to play?

Hello.I have been wanting to play d&d for a long time,so much so that I have read TPH and EE and already have a character sheet,but I don't know how this website works.Do I join a game,then someone DM's on a discord with special commands?Or is everything text based? ts;dr: Where do I actually play?

Here's the welcome message I used to send out when I was a moderator. It should have some direction. Please note that the tutorial is very out of date. It will only take you so far before breaking: First off: Welcome to Roll20! If you are looking to dive on in please check out the  Tutorial - This in-game walk-through will show you how to use various parts of our Virtual Tabletop (VTT). Additionally, starting your own test game to play with different features and controls is a fantastic way of getting used to the software and layout!

Thanks! So none of the games are hosted on discord?I thought this was an LFG plataform Anyways,I'm on a "mobile and poor" situation,so does that mean I can't play at all?

Roll20 can run on some mobile devices, but the ability to do so requires a subscription. There is an app, but it is only for handling character sheets and dice rolling, it's not meant for map access. The games are hosted and run on this site, but many people use third party programs such as Discord or Skype to handle audio/video, since they are dedicated to that purpose and less prone to failure. Many people handle communication with the built in text chat. There is an extensive LFG system built in to Roll20, but it would be better for someone else to chime in about that; I've never used it. Roll20 is basically a virtual table top. You host maps, tokens, character sheets and other assets, and players interact on the maps and roll dice in real time. For an overview, check out Roll20's Youtube channel or just search Youtube for "Roll20 intro". And lastly, you don't need to subscribe in order to play. Subscription just unlocks better tools and more storage.
