The RfC is step 4. Steps 1-3 contain what you're looking for.
I read a few bits, and visited
fab.wmflabs.org to test it out.
The left sidebar contains these terms:
- differential
- maniphest
- diffusion
- audit
- projects
- applications
Phabricator likes naming things.
I think that's confusing and is an entry barrier.
Can these be renamed back to something meaningful or have their names hidden entirely?
They're /not helping/, even after I remember what each of them does.
That's probably a steeper learning curve at least - not a big problem, but perhaps
worth looking into.

Luckily there are descriptions under the
names.
Ah. I read the descriptions and found one more familiar thing, 'tasks and bugs'.
It appears to default to bugs assigned to me - I couldn't figure out how to list all.
Turns out other options are related to code review (OK, just don't need it atm),
hosting and browsing repositories (?), Audit (similar to code review; not my thing).
I imagine most people really just want to see a list of projects and a list of open bugs
here.
I failed to figure out how to file a new bug, here.

taken to an empty results page. How do you suggest to proceed with using
this tool?
The default query shows you projects you're a member of. On the left sidebar
you can change that to "All"
Found 'Customize applications' link at the bottom. It took me to a list of pinned
applications, which is identical to what is listed in the sidebar and doesn't appear
to add any new information.
