Lemon8, the new social network making a name for itself in the US

Described as the perfect combination of Instagram, TikTok and Pinterest, Lemon8 is the new social app that everyone overseas is downloading.

Lemon8 is an Instagram-style photo and video sharing app owned by TikTok's parent company. 

While the app was launched in Singapore, Thailand and Japan in 2020, it has been making a lot of noise these days as it was one of the top 10 most downloaded apps in the world last week.

Lemon8 is a social media app that curates photo and video content mainly about food, wellness, beauty and travel.

At Lemon8 you can actually add photos and videos to your profile, explore suggestion pages curated especially for you, and also “follow” and “be followed”; just like on Instagram.

However, unlike other social networks, Lemon8 emphasizes the possibility of purchasing content that you see photographed on the profiles of other users.

One of the most attractive features of the app is the use of graphic design in most of the posts.

Creators often add text to images, labeling what is portrayed in the photo or where they can find that object. These tags are often accompanied by links.

Not only photos, Lemon8 users can also share videos up to 60 seconds and repost their TikTok.

According to many people, the sudden increase in popularity of this social network is due to the publicity that some very popular creators of TikTok have made.

Lemon8 and TikTok belong to the same parent company, ByteDance, and it is rumored that it was the company that asked its big users to sponsor the second social network.

Another reason for Lemon8's new popularity is that it stands out from other social networks because it is a hybrid of content and shopping; a perfect mix between Instagram and Pinterest. 

At the moment Lemon8 is only available in a few selected countries and Albania is currently not among them.
