You know, if this rednote thing really takes off, I don't think I can believe the whole "fediverse is too complicated" thing anymore. People are moving to an app that isn't even fully in English. That's WAY more complicated than picking a random instance out of a list (or more likely, just going to the one big one). I'm getting to where I think the vast majority of people just click on what's advertised no matter how stupid it is, and without ads (not people spreading things by word of mouth, I mean actual "ooh, shiny" ads) mainstream uptake of the fediverse will never happen. Good luck outspending the big corps on that.

Might be for the best anyway. The type of people who respond to ads probably aren't particularly fun to engage with.

Just made an account on Xiaohongshu and saw literally no Chinese during the process other than the logo. The first Chinese I saw were the titles of videos.

This was the first I saw. But by then, my account is already made and I can already see and enjoy content. I don't think it's as much of a barrier as you believe it is.

They chose the app specifically because its chinese, they still have every other tiktok clone, like clapper (lol), snapchat spotlight, youtube shorts and instagram reels.

Whatever the reason, navigating that is still more complicated than navigating Lemmy or Mastodon

I agree, but thats why they chose it.
