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?

    Iceshrimp and Sharkey are forks of Misskey with more features. Are they still able to federate with it? How does Misskey federation work?

      They can federate as intended.

      The question is the community. Most of Sharkey instance are English or other European languages.

        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.
