Lemon8 - Lifestyle Community 12+

Good and very little bad

I love this app. It’s a great fun way to connect with others & get good discussions + inspiration.
They only thing I really wish I could do on the app is report scammers. Because there are A LOT of people who will message you with cash app scams and you can’t report a page for that specifically. So if you report them for something else that is an option on the list, they get reviewed and don’t break guidelines. I see a lot of people posting who have fallen for the scams so it would just be nice if we had the option to report them and get them removed as we see them, to help prevent others for falling from it.
I mean I get them daily to where I don’t even open up my messages any more..

And then the last thing I wanted to say, it would be really really cool if we had a “story” option on our page like instagram/snapchat! Where you can click on the profile pic and see a 24hr story. Just something I was thinking about 🥰

Goin good, until…

So I was on Pinterest and I saw this app and I was like oooOoO ima get this, so I did. I upload my first video of and edit of dance moms, right. Everything goes well I start uploading more edits and one of them got a lot of views and likes. I gain followers. I search around the app, finding interesting and cool people! I find this one woman who is so full of energy, confidence, love and more. So obviously I would be looking forward to seeing more of her content, right. I find more fun people. Do some commenting( people are actually so nice there, depending on what the post is). So I go take a shower. Once I get out the shower I go back into the app trying to see if that one edit I posted got more likes. I can’t get to the inbox area because... IT SAYS I DON’T MEET THE AGE REQUIREMENT!!😡😤🤬!! IM SO MAD AND ANNOYED BECAUSE THE AGE REQUIREMENT DOR THE APP SAYS 12+!! DOES IT NOT?!?!!?! So I try to find out why I’m not meeting the stupid age requirement. And now it wants me to send a picture of “my drivers license”, “national identity card”, or “passport”?!!?!??!😤😤😤 Aren’t you not supposed to like “expose” yours personal info? Or nah? So at this point I’m really mad and annoyed. And not to mention AGIAN that THE APP says the age requirement is 12+! Now I can’t get back into the app. I can’t post my edits anymore, can’t have fun, can’t look at other edits, cant do ANYTHING. See now at first I was in love with this app! NOW NOT SO MUCH🤬😡😤✋🏼.

Get the children off of here

Alright look. I’m all for people having a safe space to go to, and this app has seemed to be just that! But lately, there have been so many little kids/minors coming onto the app and quite frankly it’s just not a safe environment for kids under 18. Say what you wanna say about it but I’ve seen some pretty adult content on here and as an adult, it makes me very uncomfortable knowing that there are minors that can see some of these things.

I’m all about having a diverse community, but seriously, there’s a line between being inclusive and just plain unsafe. The problem is, every time I try to report the minors i find coming across my page, the app “security” or whoever basically hits me with a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “who cares” and says they don’t see any issue. Talk about frustrating.

So, instead of just slapping an age restriction on the app and calling it a day, how about we beef up security? or maybe implementing a sign-up process that’s a bit more thorough than a Buzzfeed quiz. Because let’s face it, this app isn’t exactly playground material. It’s time for something to change. Here’s hoping they kick things up a notch and make this space a safer spot for everyone! Cheers to that!
