  • 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.

Literally no difference between that and Lemmy.

You can't really infinite scroll on Lemmy for hours watching content specific to your tastes.

You might get five minutes per day of mildly interesting content on Lemmy
