Some common pitfalls are making levels way too long out of fear of making them really short & being overly formulaic with their level design + being scared of experimenting due to not wanting to make something ""bad"", to name a few.
However I would like to say that for a new person, don't worry about making something ""bad"" & just have fun learning how the engine works.
Just keep experimenting with the brand new tools/toys you're given & even if it's ""bad"" you'll at the very least get some (usually nice & constructive) critiques that'll be sure to help you along your way, compared to being scared to make something bad & receiving no critiques or advice at all.
Treat it like it's a sandbox & mess around with whatever you find cool. You might even finding a cool setup or two that could be the catalyst for an idea for a new level. That's certainly how I usually find ideas for my own levels.
Also regarding finding other sites in getting feedback there's always the SMBX Discord server you can try joining: viewtopic.php?t=21530
