It’s a one question quiz, actually:
Do you want to be a furry? Yes or no?
If yes, congrats! You’re now a furry.
I’m actually an asexual furry. So no, you don’t have to engage in any sex at all. I like the aesthetic and I’ve met a bunch of my friends through the fandom as a shared point of commonality.
Probably the biggest question you’ll get asked as a new furry is “what is your fursona?” If you say you don’t have one, everyone will make a pitch to try to sell you on theirs. (psst Maned wolves are cool.)
For a more in depth explanation, take a look at furscience. They’re an actual research institution studying the fandom.

One thing that seemed to be contentious back in the day was whether us bronies were furries.

Maned wolves are cool As someone who lives where they are naturally occurring, I can confirm that they are cool. There’s also a specific tree (lobeira, Solanum lycocarpum) that’s essential to their diet and needs those wolves to reproduce.
