I've been using red note for quite a while and out of the blue I open the application and find that in order to comment or post anything I need to do an identity authentication? Problem is I don't live in China nor so I'm not sure about what to do now 😭

Sadly theres nothing you can do now. Same happened to me i gave them my passport and verification images They verified me But on the final step when im supposed to repeat my passport number they said they dont accept foreign passports Even though it was a listed option

Only thing you can do at this point is log out, make a new account and verify before they flag you as a potential bot. In China all apps require authentication to use long term to prevent bots, spam and hacking...they gave US imports plenty of time to do it, but if you don't, you get kicked and from my understanding, there's a glitch that many have been in contact with them about that prevents you from getting full access after authentication... no clue if they're working on it, but easiest and safest method is new account and verify first thing

Heard people say the only way to get ur account back is to get a Chinese id card

Tap the "Resident ID Card" text, and choose "Passport" - you'll notice a ">" to the right of the text - does no-one exercise common sense anymore?

(I apologise, I come across many of these posts).

Once you've entered your details, for the selfie photo, you need to hold your passport in front of you, with the biodata page open, making sure your face is clearly captured. China is GMT+8, and a human will verify you meet requirements, so it may take a while.

You can use your passport.

I verified (US passport) with no problem.

I thought the initial account setup a few years ago was difficult and intrusive. Now I can access and lurk, but I can't post. If I try, it starts asking for more ID verification, and I don't care to get into that again.

I’m not sure why this is happening but I’m completely okay on the app, I haven’t had any issues with verification or using foreign passport. 🧐🧐

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 ā€œreal-lifeā€ 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.
