  • 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!


  • Regarding the interface: Krita is heavily designed to match artist workflow around the world. Here’s the complexity:

    Different region, ages, and level of professionality have entirely different of common/standard app.

    A lot of comic artist or illustrator that delves in anime/manga/ACG style in Asia use Clip Studio Paint as their main software. People from Western gaming industry often used Photoshop or Procreate. Teenager in Asia often use ibisPaint. PaintToolSAI for lightweight and customizable interface. There’s Rebelle for replicating traditional realistic painting.

    Krita tried to cater to all of these people, not just “Photoshop users” that mostly just for image editing.




  • I agree with top comment.

    I’m Indonesian. Most of trending fediverse are Western related topics which It’s not relevant to me.

    There’s one time when I randomly post about my country politics, and people on Mastodon just assume or comment using Western mindset.

    Other than this Lemmy account, I mostly stick with hobby-related fediverse that mostly East Asian and Southeast Asian people (mostly Misskey instance)

    Also, Indonesian is currently the highest user on Twitter, recently bypassed Brazil. People still use it as our local feed is… well localized. No Western-related discussion and much more comfy.
