I don't think it's odd to expect people to *want* to become knowledgeable about the canon if they are going to get involved in the fandom, but I don't believe you have to pass some threshold of canon knowledge before you can be *allowed* to participate in fandom. Everyone has to start somewhere and most people don't have to get deep into the lore before they start wanting to engage with other people about it. If it's something that's been around a while (Star Wars, Star Trek, LotR, a lot of comics characters) and not a new thing where everyone is starting from scratch at the beginning, most people are going to start their fandom participation (if they care to participate in fandom at all) *during* the process of leaning the lore. Gatekeeping with those people who are still in the process of learning just makes fandom seem unwelcoming and not fun and makes you seem like a jerk. It probably also dampens people's enthusiasm for continuing to learn.
