Mastodon、Misskey、Lemmyを運営してます。
現在少しずつLemmyからPieFedに移行してきています。
PieFedの翻訳について気になるところがあったら言ってください、対応します！
I am Japanese, I only understand Japanese and use machine translation for other languages.
自分は日本語学習については知らないですが（日本人だから当たり前だけど・・・）、
子供向けの絵本サイトとかは意外といいかもしれません
https://ehon.alphapolis.co.jp/
あとはサイト集みたいなのもあるっぽいですね
https://nihongo-e-na.com/jpn/site/tag/読む/
ルビが振ってある日本語のサイトを探すのもいいかもしれないですね、
慣れたらなろうとかで本を読むのも良いかも？？
Switchのどうぶつの森を日本語に設定して勉強している人も見たことがあります
ちなみに書かれている日本語は完璧でしたよ！
I usually do use proper punctuation like the Japanese full stop “。”,
but recently there’s been a trend—especially among younger people—where it’s sometimes avoided.
Some even call it “maru-hara” (short for “full stop harassment”), suggesting that ending a sentence with “。” can come off as cold or aggressive.
I guess that’s why I ended up not using it myself, especially in casual contexts like social media.
日本人です
漢字、助詞、敬語あたりが辛いとよく聞きますが日本語はそこまで厳密に喋らなくてもある程度通じちゃったりもします
漢字を理解するのに部首からいくのはいいですね、部首と旁についてある一定の意味を覚えたら読めなくても意味を理解するのが簡単になります
小学生レベルで1026個ある漢字をとりあえず覚えれば日常で困らないレベルになると思います
頑張ってください
日本語の勉強頑張ってください！
日本旅行にきて日本語ができなかったとしても責める人はいませんが、ある程度理解できていたほうがたのしめますもんね！
応援しています
On the other hand, I’m studying English myself. I’m still only at around a Japanese middle school level, but I hope to reach the point where I can interact with people in places like this.
That said, I’m still relying on AI to write this.
I’ve played a lot of Korean games since way back, and there are plenty of songs I like — even though I have no idea what they’re saying.
I still play games like DJMAX and EZ2ON, and I just enjoy the vibe without understanding the lyrics.
I never owned one, but the KOHJINSHA DZ series was one of the most striking laptops I’d ever seen.
It wasn’t a touchscreen, but it could switch into a tablet-style mode, and it had dual 10.1-inch displays, which was pretty crazy at the time.
I’m not sure if this counts since I’m in a different region, but in Tokyo, I really enjoy everything that airs on Saturday nights.
One of my favorites right now is “片田舎のおっさん、剣聖になる”(From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman) — I’ve read the original novel too, so I’m especially attached to it.
As already mentioned, it’s not supported by default.
You can enable it by adding a plugin like markdown-it-mathjax3, so you’d either need to modify your own instance or find one that already supports it.
I’ve added a few such features to my own server, since I’m using it partly for blogging.

This is great!
I was actually planning to make something similar in Japanese, so I’ll definitely use this as a reference. Thanks!
乾酪 (kanraku) – a formal or technical term, rarely used in everyday conversation.
蘇 (so) – an ancient dairy food made by boiling down milk, somewhat like early cheese in Japan.
チーズ （Chīzu）
I’m from Japan!
Online glasses shopping is pretty common here too, and I’ve personally used Zoff (https://www.zoff.co.jp/) — they’re affordable, have lots of frame styles, and let you enter your prescription online. They also have a virtual try-on feature on their website, so you can see how the glasses look on your face before buying. Shipping within Japan is fast and reliable.
Another unique option in Japan is Shitsuji Megane eyemirror (https://ec.eyemirror.jp/ ), which translates to “Butler Glasses.” They’re known for collaborating with anime and VTuber franchises, so it’s especially popular among fans of Japanese pop culture. Some of their designs are themed around specific characters or series — very Japan!

I’m on Rakuten Mobile. It’s cheap, but the signal isn’t great outside cities, so I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you’re in a more urban area.
It’s not very reliable compared to big carriers like au or docomo — during peak times, the connection can get quite slow, though it doesn’t completely stop working.
Japan.
¥968/month (around $6 USD) for up to 3GB with free calls.
If I use more, the price changes automatically — ¥2,068 for 3–20GB, and ¥3,168 if I go over 20GB.
Sunny and pleasant weather.
However, hay fever is severe.
I am Japanese.
Japanese people can identify letters by looking at their shapes to some extent, so unless you have presbyopia, there is no problem with small letters.
Even if these were written in the same size as the alphabet, I can read them. ex: 薔薇、憂鬱、贔屓、鳳凰
*Sorry, I’m using machine translation.
I recently switched from a Suzuki Spacia to a Nissan Sakura.
In Japan, the roads are narrow, so a Kei car is very convenient.
I probably post frequently.
File servers and multiple BOTs are also running.
It may be a little expensive, but it is a typical amount of money for a VPS that runs Mastodon somewhat comfortably in Japan.
SAKURA internet VPS
※Sorry, I’m using machine translation.
Mastodon is used by me alone and costs ¥1590/month.
Misskey is free with OCI for less than 5 people.
PieFed is ¥491/month.
Lemmy is the biggest server in Japan, but I host it at home because it has about 5 MAUs.
(Unfortunately, it is not popular in Japan.)
Media is R2, but it is still within the limits of no billing.
Just to add a small note—“勉強” is written as “べん きょう”(ben kyou) in hiragana.
