It also the only FOSS YT-based music player that actually support ruby text lyrics for Japanese.

no way a nananiji idolposting on lemmy 😳😳

TIL there’s Malaysian Lemmy instance called “monyet” nice name

Another reminder that we need to keep Crunchyroll from operating in SEA market.

We enjoy our anime being available on several platform at the same time. Whether it was on Netflix, Bilibili, Muse YouTube, or regional smaller platform.

Japan actually have a lot of independent PC game store, like DLsite and DMM.

Vtuber also popularize new generation to PC gaming, especially for competitive and social games. Not to forget, so many PC-only games sold in Japan store exclusive due to culturak differences.

The actual answer is Vtuber.

Vtuber playing a lot of PC-only games or modding acene, making people get inteoduced to PC gaming.

There is an actual industry analyst, but I forgot the source.

Some people actually do, especially for people from similar music fandom.

I use Last.fm for more than decade and its nice to find fellow friend that have incredibly same niche music taste.

In a way, it’s the same as peopel sharing books collection on Goodreads or tracking movie list on Letterboxd.

Vintage Story.

It’s indie Minecraft-alike that expand survival element 100 times. With various unique lore and semi-realism gameplay.

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.

Quote post can be useful if implemented with more control, not just copying existing Twitter quote.

I recall the dev want to let user disable quote on individual post.

Graphite.rs is node-based.

It’s entirely different workflow.

Huge chunk of “visual novel” standard by Western-based site are not actually considered visual novel in Japan (and visual novel fandom).

For example, Danganronpa and Phoenix Wright are not visual novel, but “adventure games/ADV.”

Even Nintendo’s Emio English promotional call it adventure games.

Again, fediverse is not monolith of culture.

I’m not talking about the article itself, but there’s just too many people on Westwrn fediverse right now expecting everything to be free.

A lot of fediverse instance in East Asian are more welcoming author, even if they post subscriber-only creation.

Sure, some of them are doing it for hobby, but most of professional comic artist that post freely on internet are doing patron or various monetizing way.

You must be not familiar with entire creative ecosystem.

Creators like illustrator, comic artist, cosplayer, or blogger needs money to sustain their works.

Fediverse is not anti creators. There are a lot of attempt (especially Japanese fediverse community) to embrace this demography.

It’s possible to create pro-creator service without making fediverse succumb to corporate greed.

After all, fediverse should be all about inclusivity. If you don’t like creators, just block them.

Fediverse is all about inclusivity. You want to create your own community? Sure. You don’t like creators? Just block them.

It’s not about commodification of culture, but realizing that all illustrator, comic artist, writer, and designer are in the end still have to make money for their living.

Even Lemmy, Mastodon, or any FOSS software still need funding to make it works.

It’s possible to make creators on fediverse feels like their home without all corporate greed. Even right now, a lot of comic artist and writers are making their way here, posting their creativity on various instance.

I wonder if people that JavaScript is indirectly named from an ethnic group in Indonesia.

Javanese ethnic -> Java Island -> Javanese coffee -> Java programming language -> JavaScript

It’s still usable if you’re not on English side of Twitter.

For example, recent Indonesian political movement relied on Twitter for discussion and updates. Mastodon or any fediverse is simply too niche and most people don’t have money to fund local general instance. There were several local fedi instance (Mastodon and Lemmy), but all of them quickly dead for low donation.

Japanese-side is still alive (in positive manner) but people are making backup account on Bluesky and Japanese Misskey instances.

AlternativeTo is crowdsource, so one individual might find software A as suitable alternative, while others are not.

The same way that some people find GIMP enough to replace Photoshop, while others prefer Affinity Photo, Paint.NET, or Photopea.

I personally find so many cool underrated FOSS software, such as Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, Mihon, and Wick Editor.

Yep! There are so also many niche applications people never heard.

I regularly checking it for any FOSS alternative to any closed-source software. For example: Inochi2D, AB Download Manager, Miria, OpenUTAU, Our Paint, and Wick Editor.
