Is "Let's get started" a passive sentence? We know that "get+v3" means passive, so according to this rule that sentence is in passive. I am super confused about it. Could anyone please explain it?
 
Let's + bare infinitive is an imperative.
 
Yes, it is a kind of passive.

What's confusing you? The meaning?
 
It basically means Let's start.

The idea is that there is a planned task to do, that will probably take a prolonged period of time.
