Americans are joining the Chinese social media app en masse to protest an imminent TikTok ban.

American users have flocked to Chinese social media platform Xiaohongshu in defiance of security warnings.

Chinese and American users have engaged in surprisingly friendly conversations about each other’s lives.

The influx of American users could burden Xiaohongshu’s censorship mechanism, experts say.

It might take a little while for the email to show up. When I signed up, it was a couple of hours, but it was under a good bit of stress at the time.

Things are going smoothly this morning. Uploads are quick to process, and the timeline seems to be moving along with new content. So YMMV

Does it have android app?

[–] stroz@infosec.pub 3 points 3 hours ago

Yes, there is an Android app, but it does need to be side loaded. There is an APK download once you get signed into the web interface.

Similarly, there is a TestFlight for the iOS app.
