"rigoler" and "rire" are mostly synonymous when they mean "laugh". "Rigoler" has an extra meaning though: to kid.
So in situations where you'd say "I'm kidding" in English, in French the typical way to express that is "Je rigole !"

apparaître = to appear. As in, the opposite of disappear.

paraître = to seem. As in, "to give the impression/vibe of"

merci beaucoup, what about rien que and juste?

[shadow ore]

Paraître also means release, e.g. for a book.

[minor pewter]

publish?

[shadow ore]

Yeah.

Le livre est paru = the book came out.

[minor pewter]

so what about rien que and juste?

[keen finch]

Rien que seems more restrictive, for instance "Il n'a fait rien que dormir" is more pejorative than "il a juste dormi", it can only point out an exeption. It might be because juste also means correct and fair. Juste is also more common and more versetile, it's an adverb. Rien que can't be used with a conjugated verb, it always introduce a COD, it's a a "conjonction de subordination" i think.
