Xiaohongshu, China's answer to Instagram, hits no. 1 on the App Store as TikTok faces US shutdown | TechCrunch

On the heels of TikTok's looming shut down on January 19 over its ownership in the U.S. (unless the Supreme Court intervenes), it looks like another American users are flocking to a Chinese app called Xiaohongshu as people become less optimistic that TikTok can overturn U.S. ban.

    I just downloaded it today. I’m not American so the ban doesn’t effect me (yet, I wouldn’t be surprised if Canada follows suite) but I follow some awesome American creators and dont want to lose access to them so I followed them to Red Note.

      I’m liking it so far, I do wish they’d give you a way to share stuff outside the app though.

        Yeah, I went to check and the “copy link” function seems to only be for sharing in the app DMs. Hopefully they add a feature so we can share posts on here since they’re great. The cosplays are elite.

            I might be doing something wrong then because when I copied the link and put it into my search engine I got weird results. I’ll have to try again.

              The app adds a bunch of text with the link including emoji. it looks like so:
