Why do you use Lemon8? 🍋

So I stumbled upon this app because I was getting requests on TikTok. I had no idea about Lemon8 until a few days ago. I decided to check it out, and I liked what I saw. I was already in search of a new type of social media. I was about to quit social media altogether because the comment sections in almost every post were just so repugnant and exhausting to read.

To me, it kind of seemed like this was an app that you could use for just about anything. It seemed fresh and uplifting—a well-needed escape from the others. Beauty tips and recipes. Aesthetic photos and photography. Blogs and diary entries. Products and Q&A. It’s like what social media used to be. Simple. Free. Whatever inspires you is what you post. I love the journaling and scrapbook feel to it.

💛How long have you been on Lemon8?

💛What do you like to see and do on here?

💛What do I need to know as a new user?

I think of it like Pinterest and instagram had a baby. But lemon8, I’ve been on here since mid last year. I love that they have monetizing incentive programs. I have a full post about it on my profile. I also love how so far it’s non toxic, and everyone’s generally supportive and nice. Welcome to lemon8 🥰

Why Lemon8 is the question today. For me, i enjoy how it's set up. Other apps are good, but I have found this to be more personalized and not many influencers. I enjoy the interaction of others while not pushing an agenda or pushing their business products. Another thing is it has categories

Why is Lemon8 such a toxic community?
💖 I’m sorry but I can’t be the only one who thinks so! Don’t get me wrong, I love Lemon8 and find it more useful than Pinterest imo. But the constant arguing and fighting that goes on in the comment sections are upsetting. If you see something that you don’t like, scroll past it. Pretty simple.
