Hi, new to the fediverse, mainly looking at Lemmy and mastodon right now through mbin, liking it very much.

I'm a Japanese language learner, currently at N3 and wanted to look at some fediverse content in that language. Keep hearing about misskey, but registration is limited from outside of Japan? I'm going over there next month, does that mean I could open an account while I'm there?

Also a bit confused about how it works, when browsing as a guest everything seems to scroll at lightning speed, how is one supposed to use it?

In general, even if you're on Mastodon, Pleroma, or other fediverse instance, you can interact with Misskey.

The reason why Japanese content rarely be seen on Western fediverse is due to blocking. A lot of Western instance blocks misskey.io, oekakiskey, etc. Remind you that Misskey.io has the second biggest activities on fediverse. Basically incompatibility of rules. One allows R18+ drawn content, others are not.

There English Japanese-centric instance that federate with japanese instance normally and still federate with Western fediverse. Sakurajima.social (Mastodon) and Sakurajima.moe (Sharkey) would be a good candidate.

Thanks, I'll try with sakurajima.moe and see how it goes.
