Several users on Rednote have given recommendations for alternative sites, can someone list some they have seen? I thought I saved the video but I'm not seeing it in my favorites anymore. Alternatives more to shopping, if possible
NGA.cn, Zhihu, Weibo, WeChat, Bilibili.com (not the .tv version), Douyin, Qiuwen Baike, CGTN, ShanghaiEye, Baidu
Registration is troublesome and it is difficult to receive the SMS
I get that America has become a giant steaming shithole at the moment, but it you think Chinese companies are any less evil, then you're just being naive.
I know many American companies are evil, but as a Chinese I can tell you that Chinese companies aren't any better…
don't give your data to xi pls
Using chinese websites for conventional shopping needs in America, is like going to a doctor who only speaks english, in China.
What an utterly stupid proposition.
And the analogy I made, only demonstrates an incomplete portion of the issues that abound, with/in your query.
only for shopping. you can try alibaba/taobao, it support international shipping for a higher cost and longer delay. but the product choice is 100x of amazon provides. Pinduoduo is famous for cheap but low quality products, and it has another name"temu". Overall, I dont suggest any other social apps like douyin/weibo, the vibe there is much worse than rednote, lots of hating and fake news. zhihu is like quora with long answers, can be good, but it doesnt have translation
populismus chaoten
PFFFTTT As a Chinese, this shit is so funny 😆😆😆
Wechat, Bilibili, Douyin, Baidu (with all of its other apps)
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!
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.
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.
