Hey, to all of the people using Xiaohongshu in China, what's it like to have the app flooded with Americans? What's an experience with Americans on that app that stands out to you?
Also I heard that the app was mistranslated in the USA as "red note" no idea if that is true or not.
I intentionally tuned my algorithm to recommend more English content, but even so, the concentration of English content I've been seeing has significantly decreased these past few days, and the topics have become very repetitive. I actually enjoy seeing deeper exchanges between people from both countries. For example, the recent discussions about DeepSeek have been quite excellent.
It's fun to see American's share without using the vpn. Of course, rednote's recommendation algorithm made the content too American. A lot of interesting local content is missing. It takes some getting used to.
Now the offical translation is RedNote, check updates in APP store. Before Americans came I have 0 interest in this APP, cuz discussing tech topic is torture there.
I like US people trying to share their lives and making friends. I don't like US people asking dumb questions like "does China has Tesla", "does China has high speed railway"
I can’t see any foreigners on recommended anymore
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.
