Hi! This is my first time attempting to grow tomatoes and I'm trying to tell whether these are "leggy" or normal. I have never grown anything before so I don't really have a reference. Any help is appreciated!
Those aren’t very leggy tbh. But the solution to leggy seedlings is generally a closer light or more light and a fan.
Seedlings get leggy to “reach” for light, so a brighter and or closer light prevents it’s or will stop them from “reaching.”
A fan moves the stem of the seedlings making them strong and therefore generally thickens them up.

They look great, just make sure to have bright light and a temperate environment. Also take online leggy comments with a grain of salt; every year I post my seedlings here I get a lot of those comments and I end up getting ten feet healthy plants with plenty of delicious fruit.

They are at the size now that it would be worth separating them and repotting. You dont want their roots to entangle too much before you do.
