Algorithm total Bait & Switch moment

Yooooo... I had been on XHS since before the big "migration", and I only follow Chinese creators who make art, play music, read books. Naturally, I was watching (and liking) a lot of videos related to CNY, but these were all videos about how CNY is celebrated in villages and so on.

Today, I opened the app after not being on it for one day, and my entire FYP is just a bunch of posts of Asian women showing their chests and butts in one way or another. I don't even follow or engage with gym/fitness accounts.

I swear, it feels like a 13yo took over my XHS for a few hours and had a one-handed celebration with the app.

Anyone else have a similar experience where the content on your FYP completely changed?

Same though it seems easy enough to get around? I find my algorithm is generally temperamental as one second I think I’ve pretty much banished the “welcome TikTok refugees” posts in favor of Chinese-language travel, cooking, and art content (a tad more fish-cleaning posts than I needed TBH) - and the next I seem to have backslid. Also I enjoyed watching a couple of Spanish language posts and suddenly was DELUGED with it. On the positive side it doesn’t seem to have forgotten my real preferences and it seems to get the hang of it back pretty easily.

I just checked mine. Still mostly Cooking and Capybaras.

In case you don’t know, on your FYP, when you see a post you don’t want to see, just press and hold that thumbnail, and click either “Dislike this Note” or “Dislike this author”

Something similar happened to me BEFORE the migration. Switch to the Following tab and only interact with those posts for a while and it will fix itself again :D

I'm also getting a lot of health blogger & fitness instructor content all of a sudden - I assumed it was because I starred a few tea recipes and Daoist stretches to try later and the algo ran with it.

Doing a concentrated 'dislike' campaign now to bring my cats and crochet back! :)

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.
