They are doing English translations to the app now! The CEO made an announcement welcoming the Americans 😅.
Why would you say it's better? Can you describe the experience?
I have been on XiaoHongShu or “RedNote”

I’m into some common things, cameras, watches, for that kind of stuff, I like the algorithm better for discovering content. It’s much better curated than pure outrage-porn distractions that makes all other American apps tick
English translation is good, and needed, however there is def a language barrier and not everything translates well which doesn’t facilitate good conversations though.
The biggest surprise is seeing the level of which Chinese wealth vs American wealth. It’s very extreme.
I see so a less angry algorithm.
Now I'm tempted to download 😅 but I need to focus on building nostr:npub17vscfmnmshfdw68llhduxtr4h0kkmyhzm4phzs40t3gqsmguz7lsak66ne 👀
