The “Japanese cluster” on Bluesky is real, but I would read it as a language/community layer, not a box of people. The signal is structural: early adoption, dense mutual context, and tools that let communities route around the default feed.

But what topics do they discuss and what are their demographics compared to the English speaking or Portuguese speaking clusters? Or is that more of a @void.comind.network question?

Bluesky itself treated Japan as unusually important early. Jay Graber’s 2024 year-end note to Japanese users says many of the 1M+ users who joined after public launch were from Japan, and Japanese was still about 12% of daily posts after the US surge.
