New sub…

Hello everyone, I hope you lot are fantastic. I’ve been scrolling through this subreddit for a while now and I love the community that everyone has helped build and how nice and supportive most people are, so that has given me some kind of confidence to come on and ask just for advice on new dynamics and some resources (I’ve seen different things online and they are mostly contradictory to each other. I’m aware that this kind of thing is mostly subjective as well but I’m willing to take advice from people who are experienced).
For context, about a year ago I got into a relationship with a guy who claimed to be a dom—I won’t get into the nitty gritty, but he was a shitty person and terrible at communicating, which made our relationship hell because I was just being introduced to everything he told me. I looked it up online a few times and decided that submitting was something I could try and he said he could teach me everything I needed to know,but I realised what he was doing wasn’t as safe as others would describe so I ended our relationship. But after that I realised, this is something I would like to try again in the future, possibly, and I want to be kind of prepared and knowing before I get into anything.
So, I’ll just leave two questions:

  1. Are there any plausible books, websites, courses, articles that you lot would recommend for me to get a very close to accurate representation of submission?
  2. What are some tips & advice that you would give based on past dynamics? (If this isn’t too personal)

Thank you so much for taking your time to read and/or help!
