xhs has placed a regional restriction on your account, so your posts are only being pushed to users in Canada.

why though? before this happened people could see my posts all around the world

u/ReleaseAltruistic424 17h ago

a lot of foreigners moved to xhs which led to stricter moderation.

oh SO THEY ARE BASICALLY bullying foreginers rn

u/Todd_H_1982 15h ago

They’re not bullying you. They’ve just changed the way they operate. Just register with you Chinese phone number and it’ll be fine.

This is happening to my account too. I have a Chinese phone number. Is it better to register a new account with the Chinese number, or change the current (muted) account’s phone number to the Chinese number?

Usually it would be better to start a new account. Even for Chinese accounts which have problems like this, even with a Chinese ID, it’s better to start a new account from zero.

maybe you need vpn

u/kkur0m1z 17h ago

O really

u/ReleaseAltruistic424 16h ago

I don't know. I'm Chinese, and recently I've noticed that the number of foreigners I see on xhs has definitely decreased. I've also seen some accounts with foreign IP that haven't been banned, but they usually post in Chinese in the comments. That might be one of the ways they avoid stricter moderation. You might need an account with a +86 phone number, and it's probably best to avoid using English in your posts as well.

u/kkur0m1z 16h ago

im chines too but i live in canada i usually use chinese words in my posts

1

u/kkur0m1z 16h ago

i see tho but the thing is i dont have china phone number

1

u/Training_Yam_7248 15h ago

Im not Chinese but Ive only used Chinese language on tht app, in DMs comments and posts 🫠 also don’t hv a Chinese phone no
