I've seen a few questions I'd like to comment on or give a different answer, but seeing how I don't have 50 reputation (I've been a lurker for years, finally decided to participate) do I really need to ask a few questions before I can comment/answer other people's stuff? Or am I missing something here?

Sorry if this has been answered before, but with a few search tries I couldn't find any similar stuff, even tried google just for "50 reputation stackoverflow" but that didn't give me anything either.

    Welcome to SO as an active user, but this is not really a good start ... According to this help section you can immediately start contributing answers, even with 1 rep. So, just start answering away :-) Good luck!

  • Then I must have misunderstood something. Thanks for the clarification :)

    No, you did not Google. Proof.

I'd refer you to the appropriate help pages

https://stackoverflow.com/help/privileges

With 1 reputation you can Ask a question or contribute an answer

which is a core of SO, all other privileges are just add-ons, which needs filtering out "not really participating" members.
