First impression is that First impression is that it looks great and feels modern. ice wworo

There are so many forums that the home page is a little overwhelming. Being able to build a watch list is nice. Ideally would like the home page to be just my watched forums when I log in. Is that already possible?

Otherwise perhaps consider trimming down the number of forums to help newcomers get more easily oriented and posting.

Just my $0.02 but I also find it a little overwhelming on the main list. I've begun hiding all of the sub-forums I'm not interested in and watching the "New Posts" view.

Weird I just realized the text in my original post got garbled. I thought I typed "Nice work!" ¯\([katakana-letter-tu])/¯

For those that never want to see certain forums like Food & Cooking, Cars & Coffee or whole groups of forums like Acorn etc. (no offense), you can use a CSS element blocker to hide them. I'm using 1Blocker and it worked great for this. Here's an example showing a rule to block one of the trading post forums. 1Blocker syncs these rules across all of your devices. The is the best solution I've found for keeping the homepage much slimmer and not having to worry about curating a watched forums list, which also has some UI drawbacks.

Thank you for sharing this solution! uBlock Origin supports similar functionality -- though I hope we can find a built-in option or plugin to allow this functionality.
