Yeah if you want to make your small instance a bit more federated you'll start adding AP relays and then you'll suddenly see a flood of different asian languages. Probably mostly Japanese.

And along with them will come a lot of hentai and weird porn. So when you add like 10 AP relays you'll spend several hours just silencing instances based on this. But once you're done you do get a very active federated timeline that will help your local users discover the rest of the fediverse.

I almost ban any misskey instance I see with Japanese characters now, not becasuse they're all bad but because I can't see what the instance is about easily. It requires JS and it has no "About" or "Explore profile directory" section like Mastodon does.

That was an eye opener for someone who was thinking of setting up an instance. Obviously there are risks to federating posts from other instances, but I wasn't ready for this.
