of course this won't be a big obstacle by itself... but eventually they will come after vpns, proxies, and everything else

from searching servers to join, my impression is that misskey servers are even more niche focused than mastodon (there's an instance for nail salon technicians and nail artists, for example) and less federated with each other. they seem almost like forum sites or subreddits with specified topics and membership criteria and/or require introduction via an existing member.

but maybe I just misunderstood the circumstances. don't take my word for it.

edit: after trying misskey for a while, i realized hashtags are used much less than Twitter/mastodon.

topics/communities seem to be organized by instance ("サーバー" aka server) as i mentioned, or by "channels" within an instance. couldn't figure out the rules/etiquette for joining those.

warning: never step into a Japanese fandom community without a member vouching for you or being totally certain of the rules before entering. backlash will not be gentle.

otherwise most people are either posting their art, or greetings "hello", "good morning", "good night","sweet dreams"

when hashtags are used, it's more for word games or "i wanna see [random thing]. everyone post your [random thing]"

also Japanese internet is full of obscure abbreviations. be sure to study the web/otaku dictionaries
