i'm super new to this site as well, so i'm also just getting my bearings. from what i know it functions like old LiveJournal, so you just create journal entries as you please and look for communities on your own.
for layouts, i've personally just been tweaking things in the customization interface. if you want custom CSS/HTML like tumblr themes or something i've found a couple places that have nice ones: https://aliahan.dreamwidth.org/, https://shinemagic.dreamwidth.org/
i noticed you mentioned wanting to jump ship from twitter, but i honestly don't think anything is going to change once it changes hands. if you want to add me there, though, feel free.
