How do you join a guild in Ark?

Could you elaborate on the process of joining a guild in the game Ark? As a newcomer to the game, I'm curious about the steps I should follow. I understand that guilds are an integral part of the Ark community and can provide benefits such as assistance, camaraderie, and potentially even in-game resources. However, I'm not sure where to start or how to approach potential guilds. Could you guide me through the process of finding a suitable guild, initiating contact, and ultimately becoming a member? I'd appreciate any insights or advice you could offer.
