"Japanese people on lemmy, what is Japan actually like?" "I'm not japanese but..."
"...here's someone on YouTube who lives in Japan that does a good job of showing what living in Japan is really like."
Seriously, what was wrong with that?
"Japanese people on lemmy, what is Japan actually like?" "..."
wow that's so much better than people trying to help!
TIL you can only know things about Japan if you’re Japanese
I don't know of any Japanese who really know of Lemmy and I've never seen it mentioned online (though mastadon is at least somewhat known, but not by the average japanese). Also asking in English is going to limit the pool of respondants quite a bit. I'm not japanese but I've been living here since 2015 and speak japanese on a daily basis with my wife and family.
I have seen them posting on mastodon and pixelfed
But you do have to find them through Japanese specific tags which is easier when learning Japanese (日本語)
You can search for "日本" which is the native name of Japan on mastodon or pixelfed that should give you some results
I feel like Americans or Europeans would find the answers from the perspective of an American/European living in Japan more useful.
