RedNote account seems permanently shadowbanned. Norwegian phone already verified

Hi everyone,

I’m based in Tromsø, Norway, and I recently created a RedNote/Xiaohongshu account to share everyday life in Northern Norway with Chinese users.

So far, I have published 4 posts, but my account seems to have no distribution or visibility.

I have already:

Verified my Norwegian phone number Completed real-name verification today using my passport (just today TBH) Set the app/interface to Chinese Published 4 normal posts about life in Norway

Despite this, my posts still seem to get no reach.

Has anyone outside China experienced the same thing?

I’m especially wondering:

Does real-name verification take some time before restrictions are removed? Are new foreign accounts automatically limited at first? Can using a European/Norwegian IP affect distribution? Is there anything else I should verify or configure? Should I simply keep posting and wait for the account to gain trust? How can I tell whether this is an actual shadowban or just normal low reach for a new account?

I’m not trying to fake my location or bypass any platform restrictions. My goal is simply to share real daily life from Northern Norway with Chinese users and connect with people interested in Norway.

Any experience from international RedNote creators would be very helpful.

When I got shadowbanned originally last August, it took 3 months for my account to be fully restored.

That said, my account was not verified at the time and I don’t think there was any real appeal process for international accounts back then. The mod bot shadowbanned me and I guess someone overturned that ban automatically.

RedNote employees have an account on this sub which claims that if you email their email that you have a better shot at an appeal. I have heard mixed reviews from those who claim to have gone through that process.

I wish you the best

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.
