I’m curious to see what gets promoted in Japan. BlueSky’s discover feed in the US is fairly politics-heavy right now since a lot of the new users have been fleeing X’s MAGA swamp.
I have no problem with political posts, but I’m hungry for some more organic variety. If I want variety I have to put in a lot of manual work to find people and topics to follow.
My discover feed in a browser with English was some generic memes and jokes, something about Drake’s music, some comments on netflix and movies, etc.
My discover feed in a browser with Japanese set as the main language was some of the same, photography, anime drawings, and probably about half of the literal same posts (in English) as above. This could, I guess, be related to other sites I have visited or cookies or something.
The discover feed isn’t anywhere near the “for you feed” on X, so the experience isn’t super personalised and gravitates towards us politics, as that’s the most popular thing on the platform (similarly to lemmy).

I don’t have an account there.

It’s similar in JP.

Lemmy /all is basically memes, tits, and articles about crazy Trump shit.
There’s a dedicated Japanese Cluster only filter that’s pretty varied though.
