Hey there and welcome on StackOverflow. You question is not quite related to programming and thus it doesn't fully fit here. Next time, please use https://serverfault.com to get a better audience. However, let me answer your question.

Promtail is a component that collects logs from pods and sends them to Loki, which stores logs in a dedicated S3 bucket in special formats and structures as you already discovered.

This structure is not intended to be readable by a user directly. You need one other component - Grafana, which provides a web interface to retrieve these logs and potentially visualize them, see docs.
