also I never found a mastodon bubble for Japanology? there's a fuckton of Japanese people on mastodon since before mastodon went big, they were attracted by the increased anonimity, but they use mastodon very differently than my Western political/queer bubbles here (basically like it was twitter, more of a broadcast-and-followers model) and I could never get into the Japan side of the graph other than as a reader/consumer.

but thinking of how there's this difference between nerding about Japanese media with Japanese people vs. nerding about it with non-native speakers of Japanese, that second group (=fellow weebs) isn't something I get much of in Mastodon, either.
