Do I push through the main quest or complete a lot of sidequests in D4 (self.diablo)

I know it's most likely a beginner question but it's what I am I suppose.

For extra context, I generally have about 6-10 hours to spend to game per week and I find I do enjoy the main quest but after spending a couple days only doing that it feels like I'm missing out by ignoring some of the side quests.

I only have 1 charachter so far and it's lvl35 at around the start of ACT2.

Will I lose out on powerlevel if I just try to get through the main quest first for now and look into doing sidequests afterwards? Am I making my life harder if I do sidequests first?

Right now I think I would like to be able to participate in the seasonal with a new class to try out, since it is still an expensive game and I want to feel like I experience more than just one class.

Ok, I guess I'll go that route, are there downside to doing this, even minor ones?

Not really, getting the story done faster gets you the horse which helps and the side quests can all be done after the fact.

This right here is the answer. Getting the horse is extremely important at getting so many things done so much faster.

I ended up under leveled for the campaign and had to go back and do some side quests. But not a big deal.

You will be under levelled in the later acts and need to push a few levels to continue (if not for the story then to do the capstone dungeon to get to the higher difficulty level). Doing a few side quests to get those first few renown rewards at least in some regions will give a more balanced experience in my opinion (plus more potions/skills, which helps).

What are capstone dungeons? And indeed, the renown I need to get to a base level for sure, and the Lilith statues I need to activate when I see them.

Those are dungeons you need to complete to unlock new stuff. After the campaign there is a lvl 50 one unlocking wt3 (nightmare difficulty) which is where all the end game stuff starts and there is another one at lvl 70 for wt4 (hell?)
