Rednote asking for resident ID card ID number (but I’m American)

Hi!! After creating my Rednote account I was able to comment and post and like videos but now I’m unable to comment and post. I’m shown a page that says “there is a security risk in the account” when I try to post/comment. To verify my info I am taken to a page called “personal real name authentication” and then there are fields for me to enter my resident ID card information, specifically my name and real ID number. I am confused because I don’t believe I ever gave a ID number when I signed up so I’m not sure what ID number to put. I am American btw. Any ideas?

Same thing happening to me. One creator on tik tok said it’s a glitch since so many people joined so I am waiting to see if it will be resolved or should I delete my account and try again.

Wait for Rednote to respond. This is really bad for Americans.

I had this happen to me yesterday! Today I downloaded the newest update for the app, and just saw ~20 min ago that instead of 2 options, they now have 4, and one of them is "foreign passport" where you provide your passport information. I'm going to wait a little until there is more English language information about it!

I'm having the same issue. I finally received my verification code and was able to bind my mobile number and create a password, and somehow I got logged out. Now, it's asking for a phone number, my real name, AND an ID number to log back in, and I was never given an ID number.

Is it really worth it for you to give away your personal information just to use a social app?

Well, don’t give anyone your ID (sincere advice from Chinese)

Making the Jump from TikTok to Rednote(Xiaohongshu)? Here’s What You Need to Know

So you’re thinking about switching (or at least dabbling) from TikTok to **Rednote** (aka Xiaohongshu)? Here’s a quick rundown on what to expect and how to adapt: 1. **Different Vibe** * **TikTok** is all about short, snappy videos—dances, trends, and memes. * **Rednote** leans more toward lifestyle tips, product reviews, and personal stories. Think mini-blogs rather than just quick clips. 2. **Less is More—or Is It?** * On **TikTok**, you can go viral with a 15-second masterpiece. * On **Rednote**, people actually read captions and appreciate detailed posts. Don’t be afraid to write a bit more and share personal insights. 3. **Engage with the Community** * Responding to comments is key on both platforms, but **Rednote** users expect a friendlier, more helpful approach. Focus on real interaction rather than just racking up views. 4. **Use Relevant Hashtags & Keywords** * **TikTok** hashtags can be trendy and fleeting. * **Rednote** hashtags and keywords should be more targeted, especially if you’re reviewing products or sharing how-to tips. 5. **Be Ready for Culture Shifts** * The **Rednote** audience often loves beauty, travel, fashion, and “real-life” hacks. * If you’re pivoting from dance challenges, consider experimenting with lifestyle or review content to fit the platform’s style. 6. **Quality Over Quantity** * While **TikTok** can reward frequent posting, **Rednote** might favor fewer, well-thought-out posts that really resonate. High-quality visuals and genuine storytelling go a long way. Got questions about Rednote? Drop ’em below—always happy to help a fellow content creator make the jump!

The ban isn't really about privacy concerns

Why exactly? You and me know why America is banning tiktok... They can't control the narrative their like they do with Facebook or Instagram YouTube. etc The genocide in Gaza was being shown in its full without any kind of censorship... And daddy israel doesn't like that so the AIPAC who's holding the American politicians by the balls... Forced them into banning the app.... It's not about privacy or any of that.... Remember edward Snowden.? I rest my case.

Y'all know why Trump suddenly became "pro-TikTok" right?

Say it with me....because he and his oligarch buddies are getting worried Americans are waking up to the truth about the anti-China propaganda BS in Red Note and will either demand better conditions or go full socialist.
