The Misskey forks are in English, the only bad thing is that they are a little resource intensive
Comment on What are some examples of original fediverse software, not emulating existing platforms?

Misskey. It’s second most used software in fediverse. Used in misskey.io, which has 10 thousands daily active user (possibly 100K-200K MAU).
Developed since 2014. Originally function as self-hosted microblogging, now turns into unique social media. For example:
- Misskey-flavoured Markdown, example
- social games (only two so far: Reversi and Bubble Game)
- emoji reaction like Discord (they’re the first one to implement it on fediverse)
- Antennas (tracking post with any keyword)
- Pages
- Channels (groups)
- Clips (bookmark with multiple groups, kinda like Facebook bookmarks)
- Achievement
- optional ads banner (just in case the server admin wants to do community ads, usually used for indie games, comics, vtuber, or IRL art event)
Their community is mainly Japanese, they desperately need English contributor and community to help them grow.

If it was soft-fork, than its fine. Almost all previous forks are hard-forking, splitting English community into another one.
A lot of FOSS project from non-English community often having hard time to broaden their community unless English community embrace them first. Helping non-English community also broaden FOSS community diversity and perspective, allowing them to collaborate and do cultural exchange.

I’d like to try it out. Do you recommend some instance with English UI?

blahaj.zone uses Sharkey (which is a fork of Misskey)

The UI of misskey + forks is so gorgeous. If I enjoyed using social media, I’d definitely use it.
