As you may understand, the number of misskey servers and users has increased rapidly over the past week, especially since yesterday, due to the large movement of misskey servers and users from overseas Pleroma mackerel. "Misskey's UI is cool!", That function is Nyan, I tried various things like this, and when I saw that I used MFM to rotate custom emojis and played around with it, misskey users Personally, I am very happy. They basically have a strong spirit of mutual aid and DIY (Do it yourself), so they can teach each other the functions and usage of misskey, and if they think that they are functionally insufficient, they volunteer to patch (the number of characters in the profile described later). About) is created, distributed and improved. Overseas Pleroma users are amazing ... I think.

However, there are still language barriers between Japanese and English, and they can build their own Nyan or misskey mackerel without an installation guide, and ask each other how to use the misskey function correctly. I have questions and discussions. In particular, the following questions are often asked.

・ Is there a misskey document, installation guide, etc.?
・ I want you to improve Android and iOS apps
・ Questions about misskey's unique features of AiScript / room / group / channel
・ Pleroma's profile can write up to 5000 characters, while misskey can only write up to 2048 characters (this is a problem unique to Pleroma, and Mr. Meimei has already responded this morning. Thank you! https://github.com/mei23/misskey-v12/pull/1985)

Considering the main cause of the above ...
・ Insufficient language support for English
-In the first place, the documentation and installation guides are not enough to be created and maintained, or you do not know where they are.

I think that's what it means. It would be nice to have a site like joinmastodon.org where you can quickly see what's there. And it seems best that it corresponds to English.

Since a week ago, there were signs of misskey mackerel and an increase in users, so while watching the situation, the day before yesterday, especially last night until 6 am (Europe is a hot time when SNS is frequently accessed around this time), the above questions However, there is a limit to what you can do by yourself. For the time being, please make #askmisskey (# askfediverse, a misskey version of the hashtag attached when asking a question to the entire fediverse) and ask a question there, or with the misskey forum (https://forum.misskey.io/) I've called, but English-speaking misskey admins and users would appreciate it if you could answer the questions asked by the #askmisskey hashtag. The number of users is increasing over time, and it will be over 500 at last. How many mackerels are there? I personally think it's up to Minya to see this as a transient boom or to make it a good opportunity to spread the goodness of misskey to fediverse. Of course, I'm not in a position to say something great because I just joined misskey recently, but I also have the feeling that I want to spread and know misskey, but in Minya-san I wonder if there is also.
Lastly, there was an important decision posted the other day by Patreon of Shuiro Mama, calling for donations and releasing issues and pull requests, but it was overseas Pleroma users who spread them widely to fediverse. People. The overseas users of Pleroma, who originally had an understanding of Japanese culture and probably developed by otaku Nyalain (I was jokingly saying that it was Pleroma x Misskey = Yuri), are influenced by that kind of thing. No, but there are many young people who are interested in Japanese subculture. It looks like it has an affinity with misskey. Overseas Pleroma users also draw pictures of Ai-chan and Preroma-tan. I don't know if you know it, but quite a few overseas Pleroma users are already building misskey mackerel after knowing that they are already on Patreon of Shuiro Mama and posting important decisions of Shuiro Mama. Some people are worried about the future of misskey and go to Patreon to build misskey mackerel.
As I wrote at the beginning, overseas Pleroma users have a strong community effort (community effort) against themselves and others, but now it's time for us to show it to them. .. It's just my opinion. [End]
