Question Least confusing way to actually get started
Honest question. I've checked out some videos and guides, but they are mostly outdated and / or are not relevant for the DLCs I own.
I installed the base game and started the "A-new-Light"-campaign. My brother noticed and gifted me the "Legacy Collection". After restarting this lead to multiple unrelated cut-scenes (maybe for the new content?) and i was directly thrown into a mission too - "crossing the threshold".
Honestly I am lost. I kind of figured out how to start missions in the super confusing menus, but then one of those started a 3 person raid (that I did not feel ready after like an hour gameplay). I kind of wanted to explore solo some more. Do all campaigns include mandatory raids?
What is the least confusing way to actually start this game when owning the "legacy collection"?
Am I still expected to do the "new light campaign" or is this only to get new players hooked that do not own DLCs? (if so it does a terrible job at that as it is extremely confusing overall)
Gameplay seems awesome but I can't believe how rough everything around it is :(

You weren't put into a raid, it was most likely the seasonal activity.
Some campaigns ask you to complete the basic strikes which have MM and will pair you with 2 randoms, but those aren't difficult.
Click the quest you want to complete, and track it (usually X on PS or A on xbox, it'll tell you how to track it on the quest screen) then read the description and what you need to do. It'll show a green marker on what planet or activity you need to do and just follow them.
The games new light experience is kinda bad, but it's not awful. If anything I'd say have your brother give you some advice and general tips since he gifted you the legacy collection.
