new to PopOS, I installed fish, now $HOME is set weird [closed]

I built a new desktop on POP_OS. I installed fish using

sudo snap install fish-shell --beta

It works great, but now $HOME is no longer set to

/home/<username>

instead it's set to

/home/<username>/snap/fish-shell/1

I'm not sure the effect this is going to have on my environment, but I know for sure my shell scripts, which depend on $HOME in many cases, are gonna be wrecked.

What am I missing here? Why is $HOME so weird?
