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.

Can you explain what to do with the code photo after entering your phone number? I’ve tried dragging it where I think it should go, but it’s not working. Thank you so much.

I wrote a Red Note (Xiaohongshu) App Guide for Beginners https://fmoran.me/xiaohongshu-app-guide-for-beginners/, which might help people use RedNote. If you still have any questions after reading it, feel free to leave me a message.

Was trying to upload a test video up on the app and got hit with an error 'video size exceeds the maximum limit"

I'm assuming this is a data limit (it's an 8k video at 700 mb's) but just wanted to confirm what the maximum file size limit was or if there's an aspect ratio limit that I'm not understanding

I've created a new tool called Rednote Preview that lets you preview how your post will look on Rednote's feed, both in Chinese and English. You can also use it to test if your cover images meet Rednote’s recommended aspect ratio.

The servers might be slowly splitting.

Found out they likely made a new server for international users. In the [Xiaohongshu User Privacy Policy](https://agree.xiaohongshu.com/h5/terms/ZXXY20230227002/-1): >In this Policy, "Xiaohongshu" refers to a product distinct from its overseas-operated version, "rednote". Users of Xiaohongshu and rednote are distinguished by their mobile phone numbers. This Policy applies to Xiaohongshu users, specifically: >Users who have registered with a mobile phone number from Chinese Mainland; and >Users who have already registered as Xiaohongshu users using a mobile phone number outside Chinese Mainland before December 8th, 2025. >After December 8th, if you register with a mobile phone number outside Chinese Mainland, you will be a rednote user and the rednote Privacy Policy shall apply. In the [rednote Privacy Policy](https://agree.xiaohongshu.com/h5/terms/ZXXY20251205002/-1): >Specifically, Xiaohongshu App operating in China will be interoperable with rednote Platform; this means that public User Content and profile can be shared and accessed by a user of Xiaohongshu platform, and you can communicate, interact with a user of the Xiaohongshu platform. TLDR: They're putting new foreign users after 12/8/2025 in a new Singapore-based server instead of China server. The new server is interoperable with China's server. EDIT: [Rednote (Intl)](https://agree.xiaohongshu.com/h5/terms/ZXXY20251205003/-1) and [XHS (China)](https://agree.xiaohongshu.com/h5/terms/ZXXY20250119002/-1) have different ToS. EDIT #2 (3/8/2026): changed TLDR because it might be more then just user data.

The real face without makeup. Be cautious in what you see in the livestreams.

As a man that cannot distinguish between the woman that has makeup or not this is shocking. Be cautious in what you watch. I'm watching just to be entertained. Watching a fake is not what I want, nor is it what anyone else wants
