How do you inform yourself on topics which don't belong to your field of expertise? (lemmy.ml)

So you directly read papers on those topics? I tried doing that but I feel it requires a huge amount of background

I am not the person you are replying to.

I read a lot of papers and it is hard if you don't have background knowledge of the subject. If it's something I am really interested in, then I will dive deep, if it's not I will probably let it go when I get to the point where I no longer grasp what's being said.
