Westernized social media is so dumbed down. I hope rednote won't follow tiktok path..
They split the servers not the userbase by the way
This is so disappointing, as the main reason I use the platform is to engage with the Chinese community. I know they have split data servers, but this sounds like they want to split users, too.
I left tik tok after they started dumbing down. Where to go now?
really? but I think you can still register as nonCN phone number, but rednote's algorithm is good at making information blocking, such as softcore pornography and feminist
Are they already doing this or is it something that’ll happen in the future. Is there any way to download the CN version then? I have both TikTok and douyin on my phone. The main reason I got XHS was to practice my mandarin 💔
of rednote is becoming tiktok then i haven’t felt it yet. majority of my feed is Chinese mainland posts.
Hope they keep one platform; adding a T&C for foreign users clearly stating that adherence to CAC's rules is compulsory. We really need this Confucian-legalist cultural Impulse in Europe, now that EU member states have shut down their Confucius institutes. XHS has helped me deprogram a lot of western propaganda, and helped me open up the vast horizon that is mainland China. Many great exchanges with reciprocity and mutual learning.
Please don't bifurcate XHS, "netizen resonance" and grassroots exchanges between West and mainland China really contribute to peace and understanding between peoples. Yes many of us have learnt about chinese culture* thereby many of us have actually civilized ourselves. 感谢你们都

It will be hard to return back to X and IG if XHS gets bifurcated.
I hate when they split apps like this. It’s nice being part of a global community
I noticed this recently with a steep decline in Chinese users being on my FYP. I absolutely hate it, the American users are insufferable and all they do is talk about politics and cooking. It's like Instagram and I hate it.

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.
