The basic UI when first using Mastodon can be off-putting. But there are options!
1) "Advanced Web UI" in your settings
2) Mobile apps. The official app was rushed to meet demand after migration. Try #FediLab or #Tusky on Android. #Toot! or #Amaroq on iOS
3) Desktop. Try #Sengi or #Whalefish
4) Web. There are even alternate Web UI. Check out #Pinafore
