Hopefully not too niche being a Japanese service, but has anyone been able to register for Misskey? They aren’t allowing registration from outside Japan (the VPN I tried didn’t work). From what I can tell, they started restricting registration a year ago, has it been closed the whole time?
?
Misskey is also a federated and decentralized platform like Lemmy. There are a bunch of other instances of Misskey other than the one in japan.

Yeah, don’t just just join the largest instance. Look at the smaller ones. And that is true for any fedi backend. Be it misskey or mastodon, sometimes smaller is better. Sometimes smaller instance has better local community and better administration.
