Adding random information regarding Misskey. Misskey is specifically created to tackle Japanese internet culture and its own interpretation of fediverse.
For example, Misskey software allow the instance owner to run ads (usually community ads like promoting indie games, open for art illustration, or vtuber) while Western-made fediverse software are anti-ads.
Misskey also allows a lot of fun feature like social games, blogs, groups, emoji reaction, Misskey-flavored Markdown (people are getting wild with it).
It also have drive, which allow user to reuse existing uploaded image without using additional server storage.
Also, fun achievements!
Can English only speaking users use Miskey on a practical level. It sounds really interesting.
There are Misskey forks, though not without some hiccups. I'm currently using Sharkey because I like the UI better and the emoji reactions. Calckey turned Firefish was big for a while, and the suddenly died when the sole Dev went MIA.
Yes there several english-speaking instances running Misskey or a fork. Here's the list for Sharkey - https://fedidb.org/software/sharkey
