I am new to geekhack, and not quite sure on how to get started on GH, or Reddit if anyone would like to help that would be much appreciated!
Welcome to GH!
You've already gotten started by introducing yourself. To continue, fire away with questions and/or comments.
Another mechanical keyboard forum to consider is Deskthority (DT), which is a smaller group with a relatively high proportion of members from the UK and Europe. DT has an excellent wiki with lots of information about keyboards and keyboard switches.
