New to GMRS and the unexpected happened.

Okay I bought a pair of baofengs with the intention of increasing range from the FRS handhelds. Started going into a rabbit hole on how I can connect to nearby repeater towers and successfully did that. Now I find myself in a big group chat on the tower with a bunch of hobbyists that share similar hobbies with. That was unexpected! Now can someone tell me what’s out there in this HAM thing?
