If it’s worth saying, but not worth its own post, here's a place to put it.
If you are new to LessWrong, here's the place to introduce yourself. Personal stories, anecdotes, or just general comments on how you found us and what you hope to get from the site and community are invited. This is also the place to discuss feature requests and other ideas you have for the site, if you don't want to write a full top-level post.
If you're new to the community, you can start reading the Highlights from the Sequences, a collection of posts about the core ideas of LessWrong.
Thanks for the links—I definitely do focus in on the essential parts when I have limited resources. So I personally don't need versions without comments, but I find the alternate link for the Sequences quite aesthetically appealing, which is nice.
As for the anthropic reasoning, there are definitely all kinds of different scenarios that can play out, but I would argue that they can be clumped into one of three categories for anthropics. One is doom soon, meaning that everyone dies soon (no more souls). The second is galactic expansion with huge numbers of new conscious entities (many souls). The third is galactic expansion with only the expansion of conscious entities that have existed (same souls). Assuming many-worlds, no more souls is too unlikely to happen in all the worlds, but it will surely happen in some. Same with many souls. But given that we live in the current time period, one can infer that most worlds are same soul worlds.

If you want to explore the community more, I recommend reading the Library, checking recent Curated posts, seeing if there are any meetups in your area, and checking out the Getting Started section of the LessWrong FAQ. If you want to orient to the content on the site, you can also check out the Concepts section.
