>What is the japanese community like?
Very welcoming, varied and fun [spoiler]Wish I could speak japanese to hang out with them more[/spoiler]
>How big is compared to it's western counterpart?
Very big. Western is still bigger but their community is much more interconnected
The event in pic related is a nightly occurrence wherein a vast amount of japanese join a specific map at 11:00 PM JST and take a group photo at 11:30 PM

It's pretty self organizing and people drop a new portal once there are about 30 people in a map. The idea is to keep the map at 20 people just enough for a nice group photo and chat.
From the japanese I manage to talk with that knows english, this is basically a way for the whole of the japanese community to interact and see the others on the nightly basis.
Like a public hall of sorts as an excuse to talk with the other japanese.

"Survive a day" is the name of their event and it has been going on for 575+ days and more.
 With this event alone they make it so the whole of the japanese community are intertwined and know each other
And they have a fuck ton of other events wherein they organize it to 30 minute blocks on a shared calendar wit hall the japanese. Literally every hr there is an event happening in japan, everyday on any given week, on any given month.

>desktoppers and shit that they hate to see in public worlda etc?
Yes they have desktoppers too but much much much less. Most of them also have FBT

Japanese are definitely hardcore in more ways than one dohohohoho
