What is Lemon8?

Lemon8 is a content-sharing app created by ByteDance (the parent company of TikTok), combining elements of Instagram, Pinterest, and lifestyle blogging. It focuses on lifestyle content, including fashion, beauty, food, travel, and home decor, with an emphasis on high-quality visuals and detailed guides.

The platform features a discover feed algorithm similar to TikTok's, showing users content based on their interests rather than just accounts they follow, making it easier for creators to reach new audiences.
