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?
You may be able to register with a Misskey instance that isn’t Japanese but still federates with misskey.io. For instance, I made an account on misskey.social which is an Italian-based instance. I still see posts from misskey.io, from anybody there that I follow.
Not sure what it looks like as a guest, but when I set my feed filter to “Global”, it is lightning fast. If you set that filter to “Social” you’ll see only who you follow, which will naturally slow it down.
Be warned that misskey.io has a lot of R34 art on it - keep that Sensitive Media blur up and running.
