Just wondering a few things about how to start out on this server. Sorry in advance for my lack of knowledge 😅

Not an expert, but I can try answer your question.
Roll20 is a virtual tabletop (vtt) where you can roll dice, view maps for a scene or whatever. There's probably more to it, but that's the basic idea.
Where you make a character is up to you, however, your DM might want you to use a specific platform. There are any number of templates online.
D&D Beyond is a very popular platform for making and sharing your character; it has a premium side of course, but there are free aspects you can toy around with also.
To get started you should read the rules for the game. Generally, a campaign can be long form and a DM will probably not want to hold your hand through the basic rules. There are specific pages in the Players Handbook you can read... I don't know them off the top of my head, but there's not that much to it.
I know the Basic Rules is a free book available online. I think it's available D&DBeyond. When you know the basics, you should be able to jump into a beginner friendly One-shot!
Also, I'm pretty sure there's a website that has all the books...
I hope this helps you get started!

I would suggest joining beggnier friendly one shots from #dnd-one-shots . I started dnd from this server doing same 2 years ago 😁.
Roll20 is a website used for maps character sheet and rolls.
As a newcomer dnd beyond is a great site to make and use characters. You need to download beyond 20 extension to use it on roll 20. Your dm might help explain more in detail.
Just knowledge of basic core especially how combat works is appreciated. (For which a beggnier friendly one shot is perfect).

I mean u might need some help the first time 😅 . Would suggest asking the dm or one of 1000 character creation vids online(Get help from willing dm is 100% more recommended )
Overall making a new char in dndbeyond is still much easier than in roll 20. Once you get used to it roll 20 every time no contest 😁

How does a player improve their character's abilities?

How does a player improve their character's abilities?
When you reach certain level up milestones, you get a chance to increase your character's abilities.
For example, most classes receive ability point improvements at level 4 and you can assign points to your character's abilities. Alternatively, there's the optional feat (which grant some features/abilities) and some of them grant a single ASI. I think Actor is one such feat.
Also, there are a handful of items that can improve character abilities, but I think they are quite rare.
