Really enjoy using this app! I appreciate how supportive and kind the developers are towards English-speaking users despite them not being the main user market. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Chinese is *extremely* limited so having built-in translation for the UI is so very helpful! Thanks for accommodating us and welcoming users outside China to the app.

I realize this is a stretch and only offer it as a suggestion, but it would be really fantastic if the shopping functions of the app were made more user-friendly for English speakers in the future. I couldn’t figure it out since some of the interface didn’t auto translate and got overwhelmed. I’m not sure if things can be shipped to me in the USA among other details. Additionally, and I totally understand this is unlikely and once again only respectfully suggest it, I would love if I could pay with PayPal since I’ve seen some wonderful art I want to purchase but I buy everything online via PayPal and I don’t have any other payment app accounts to pay with. Completely understand that PayPal isn’t as common in China though and that it would be a feature primarily for international users. Just wanted to put it out there as a suggestion but understand if it cannot be implemented!

Very nice app with a friendly community 👍 Will continue to use it

I do not care about or use social media personally, but I know a lot of people do. I also believe in free speech and the importance of unity among people of the world. When we consumers/workers unite to put the corporations and governments in their places, we show them we are not a bunch of mindless idiots, but a united and informed population of the world. Our world, our Earth, our home! All as humans, no matter where we are from. I know the US and Chinese governments aren’t perfect; no government is! And it is up to us as the people of Earth to continue to set the example for future generations and to teach them that we have power together. Workers of the world unite! End to tyranny and corporate oppression! End to the evil banking dynasties and oil empires! End to the evil corporations taking advantage of exchange rates and working people like slaves! No person on this planet deserves to be treated like a mere tool, and nobody should ever put profit before people. Money is not important. Health, love, compassion, our fellow living beings on Earth such as other animals and plants, all of these things are important and real. So let’s band together and show the government we mean business! Even if it is something silly like downloading an application to prove a point! I love you all, whoever you are and wherever you are, I love you like my friend and family 🫶🙏😎💜😹

The sudden popularity of this app (RedNote) in the U.S. has sparked an unexpected cultural exchange between Chinese and American users. Many Americans see this as a rare chance to step outside the carefully curated bubble of U.S. capitals and media-controlled platforms and experience a more unfiltered, diverse world. For some, this is the first time they feel like they’re seeing a global perspective untouched by the influence of American algorithms or corporate agendas.

Traditionally, the U.S. is portrayed as a beacon of diversity, but critics argue that American social media platforms often promote a sanitized, homogeneous version of the world. Algorithms are designed to maximize engagement, often feeding users what they want to see—or what corporations and governments want them to see—rather than offering a truly diverse flow of information. This has led to an increasingly narrow perception of the world for many Americans.

In contrast, RedNote's content feels fresh and authentic, offering glimpses into real lives and cultures outside of the typical Western narrative. For many users, this is a wake-up call, exposing them to perspectives and stories they’ve never encountered. It’s ironic that, in seeking freedom from perceived U.S. media manipulation, many have turned to a Chinese platform to rediscover what diversity and authenticity truly mean.
