Lemon8

With the impending ban, TikTok has recently been going hard into pushing its sister app, Lemon8, promoting a seamless transition by allowing users to access the app with their existing TikTok account. While the app is branded more as a “lifestyle community,” it has a similar functionality to Instagram and Pinterest, where you can share everything from stylish photo collections to slideshows, and browse for content through “Following” and “For You” feeds. Even the usage of filters, effects, and creative tools are similar to TikTok, so it’ll feel like a no brainer to post instead of learning a completely new UI. But spoiler alert: Lemon8 is also owned by ByteDance, so it might get hit with the same regulatory hammer as TikTok — the question is just when.
