Great! Until tik tok stole it….

I loved this app it was great! It was better than Pinterest in my opinion and I really liked it! It was fun because I could follow people and it was like having an actual social media app because I don’t really do social media but I loved this app! It gave me a lot of helpful tips and there were some content creators I loved on Lemon8 and then I went to get on it one day and check all my notifications and it told me to log in through tik tok and I don’t do tik tok. I don’t use the app or get involved with it and I had a good amount of stuff saved and some people that I was following that were really helpful for me, so that day I lost everything I had saved and had to delete the app because I don’t have a tik tok log in and it isn’t fair for people who don’t want to be involved with tik tok. That’s why I like Pinterest because it is not like all the other apps and is really helpful, rather than mind rotting. If you don’t want to be involved with tik tok, DON’T GET THIS!!! I 100% recommend Pinterest instead of this app, this is just my personal opinion, but thank you for reading.

App randomly stopped being available in my region: Lost access to my account after TikTok shift.

As a U.S. territory, Puerto Rico often finds itself in a frustrating gray area. We’re “part of the U.S.” when it’s “convenient”—like laws, obligations, and statistics—but when it comes to opportunities like app monetization, we’re excluded. Take Lemon8, for example. The app was fully available in Puerto Rico, and users like me loved the app. But after the recent TikTok shift and calls to migrate to Lemon8, we suddenly don’t count as “part” of the U.S. anymore. I’ve now lost access to everything on the app. This isn’t new. With TikTok, Puerto Rican creators were never eligible for monetization despite being under the U.S. umbrella. Now, history repeats itself. We’re seen as part of the system when it suits others, but denied the same opportunities when it comes to growth and recognition. This inconsistency isn’t just unfair—it’s a missed opportunity for platforms to embrace the immense talent and creativity coming from Puerto Rico. App developers, it’s time to recognize us: not as “conveniently part of the U.S.,” but as a valuable community that of our own that deserves full access and equal opportunities. If we’re being banned from TikTok, just like the rest of the United States, simply for being U.S. citizens or residing on U.S. soil, then we deserve equal access to the app (and equal opportunities for creators) as everyone else in the country. Thank you.

Infuriating

Most of the posts are about the same thing, you can't write comments that aren't longer than two paragraphs, and the comments writing process is awful because of the way the word limit pops up. Seriously the way that the comments writing system works is enough to make me never want to go back. I often use dictation and if your dictation is too long, it will just delete the whole thing! who coded this app a toddler? On a social app you would think your main priority would be to actually have a comment system that worked and didn't make you retype deleted comments all the time unless that's your sneak way of getting engagement either way it is something that will give people rage issues fyi.

The app is run by Christians, but they are too foolish to realize that their guidelines make it so you can't even talk about the Bible as it is so vulgar. This also means that you can't really talk about much at all because they deem most things unacceptable so they will delete your comments without warning and with no way of asking for a repeal. all it takes is one offended Christian and they will try to report everything on your account and as far as I can tell lemon8 doesn't even check the report as I have said completely mild things that just don't agree with Christianity and I've had my comments deleted.
