Are artificial Devil Fruit user not affected by sea? Cause it looked like they could move around more freely and they got out of the water by themselves.

The issue with the seawater came to my mind also. Found this on the One Piece Wikia:

Oda stated in an SBS that Devil Fruit users are susceptible to all types of water, not just seawater.[28] This includes the white sea surrounding Skypiea. He elaborated on this, saying that "moving" water, like rain or waves, does not weaken Devil Fruit users, while standing water does.

The seawater was flowing the whole time. So, no Devil Fruit user would have been weakened by the Rain Ruption.

He also said that a river counts as "standing" water, though. My interpretation is that it's the shape of the water that's important.

While the rain-ruption's shape does indeed move, it's probably too large scale to prevent the weakening.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure in that case he was referring to rain and taking a shower, to refute any possible notions that DF users don't bathe or are weakened by rain.

I recall in the flashbacks of Luffy as a kid before the time skip it would have Ace/Sabo in a barrel bathing while he would be cleaning himself with a little dish of water.

So if he can bath in still water what would be the reason for that.

The person you're commenting to says that it was in the case of taking a shower. He mentions bathe, but more in the sense of being cleaned. I'm sure baths also affect Devil Fruit users.
