Why is RedNote not popular? Only 0.5% use it

There are 170 million Americans who use TikTok actively monthly. Due to the recent ban of TT some migrated off to RedNote or Xiaohongshu. But this number isnt as big as people think

Only 7 million at best are using RedNote in America, this is about 0.5% of all American TikTok users.

This tells us that despite people hating on US government and META rightfully so are okay with moving over to Instagram than to use RedNote.

Another Reason is that RedNote translations tools are pale in comparison to what TikTok offers, and META being the cheater cuck that is has alrady copied most of these original ByteDance tools into Reels

Another reason could be that RedNote itself isnt big in china, only 300 million Chinese use it compared to 1 billion WeChat or Douyin users. This is just 30% of all chinese intenet users

Another reason is that RedNote algorith sucks and isnt as good as TikTok but still much better than the garbage of Youtube shorts or Instagram

I'm sorry, there are 7 MILLION AMERICANS on XHS and you think that's not a lot?! That's 7.000.000 people

it’s currently the number one social media app being downloaded globally. It’s ranked number one in the Apple Store.

REDnote is all about lifestyle. It is a niche market. It is not the same 170 million want.

i dont really care if a bigger per cent of the population uses it. i prefer it stays friendly, cosy, and full of high quality content. low quality posts can stay on tik tok

If it keeps the unwanted trump propaganda and the 'recomnended' political posts, no thanks, rednote can stay 'small', besides, the future of TikTok is still not certain, also been hearing people having problems with the app. Will meta officially buy it? To many uncertainties

Is XHS actually marketed in the USA?

I'm getting 7/170 = 0.04 or 4%

Some people just like that TikTok style of fast, attention grabbing, low quality content. I was watching a few toks with my spouse who still has it and couldn’t watch anything more after 5 videos. It all feels so fake and attentions seeking compared to Red Note. And RN is not perfect but it’s such a different pace that I enjoy it more.

Some people are scared and think something bad will happen to them or that it's somehow "bad" to download and use it.

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.
