The moon depending on where it is at your time of day can affect whether or not there’s high or low tides. Basically moving all of the water in the ocean, at least that’s how I think. But how come it doesn’t make us feel lighter or heavier throughout the day? Or just seem to affect anything else

The moons gravity does make us lighter and heavier throughout the day. It’s just by a really tiny, practically unnoticeable amount.
The reason why it has such a big effect on water is because water is a liquid and is sensitive to tiny changes in gravity.
For example, let’s say your standing on floor that is very slightly angled downward, maybe a 0.5 degree tilt. You probably wouldn’t notice. However if you spilled water on the floor, it would immediately flow down to the lower side.
