It's making me sign up with either a phone number or a Google account ):

And you need to attach a phone number to comment anything. Are there any issues with using one of those temporary fake phone number generators?

That's so out of the blue? Is there any particular reason why the app got viral in the US?

TikTok is getting banned in the US so a bunch of users are going to Xiaohongshu instead. It’s basically to spite the American government.
