I am getting tired of scammers and fake accounts

I’m genuinely trying to get to know people from China, engage in discussions, and exchange ideas, but I keep getting bombarded with fake accounts that just want me to move to WeChat so they can either sell me something or get me to follow their friends on other "social media".
Is it just me, or is the number of scammers insanely high?
For example, if I see a profile with only one picture of themselves and lots of text posts asking for foreigners, I know it’s a scam account.

You can search with Chinese keywords to fill your page with a variety of content. After all, this is one of the largest Chinese social platforms.

I’ve had 2 or 3 on Rednote with 8k followers, and over 50 with 1k followers on Instagram. Insta is way worse

I feel you. Those who voluntarily chatted with me were 100% scammers too, unfortunately.

So weird. I’ve been on XHS for a year and haven’t encountered any yet. Maybe it’s your algorithm.

These types of accounts exist across basically every single social media platform.

I’ve gotten a few scam message requests, but I generally don’t accept messages from anyone I didn’t interact with from whatever comment sections.

I suggest making friends on rednote by interacting with people on posts and comment sections, and moving the conversation to private messages or friend requesting users from the comment section. This way, I’ve never interacted with scammers.

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.
