Everyone just shows up in the same feed. USians are making posts in English alongside all the posts in Chinese. I've seen Chinese users making jokes like "Give me your data!" or "Welcome, I'm your new Chinese spy". I saw one comment on a post that read, "They better start posting in English soon." which, was getting heavily flamed. Lots of Luigi posting, it would seem. I also keep getting Chinese accounts posting a lot of really cool Socialist Realism art/propaganda posters, old and new. Lots of cringe USians making posts about being "refugees" on the app.

Can I use it on a desktop browser? I was trying to load it, but I couldn't get it to either show in English or translate correctly. I didn't see a login/signup button either, are those mobile only?

I'm having the same issue. I made an account via my phone and set my language to English, but I can't seem to log in to the website.

The website has a thing to login with a phone number, but the number only allows numbers from China (+86). Not clear if it allows account creation either. This was just a popup when I loaded the website.

I had to modify the country code to +1 for US but I was definitely able to use my US phone number.

There's a dropdown list, I could select my country's number and put my phone number in to register. Verification code came through straight away

I'm clicking on it, and its not giving me options. Did you do it on desktop?

I'm having the same thing on desktop. Can only use the +86 number. If you make the account on mobile, you can scan a QR code through your profile to log in on the desktop.
