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?

    If it federates, what does that matter? Just read the Japanese Misskey content.

      You don’t get local Japanese feed, which is the best way to randomly find new interesting things.

        But if you follow enough users, won’t you start getting quite a good amount of that? Plus, you can probably just browse the local of some Misskey instance and then, if you want to comment or upvote, open it from within your own instance? It won’t be perfect, but I would imagine it will do the job just fine for a student.

          One thing that I forgot: Misskey has feature of instance-only post, which means a lot of people post won’t federate.
