I Miss the Old Lemon8 💔

Does anyone else miss what Lemon8 used to be? It used to feel like this little cozy corner of the internet — full of positivity, inspiration, and real people sharing their lives. I’d scroll and see posts about homes, reading lists, fashion finds, handmade jewelry, delicious recipes, and weight loss journeys. It was uplifting — especially for women — and felt like a space where we were all just cheering each other on.

Now? I feel like it is overrun with scams and rage bait. Every other post is someone claiming they “made $10k, check my bio to see how,” or content deliberately stirring arguments about celebrities, politics, and controversial topics just to farm comments. The whole vibe has shifted from authentic connection to engagement bait.

I miss the days when this app felt like a supportive community instead of a battlefield for hot takes and fake offers. Can we bring that energy back? I came to various social medias to get away from the hustle and hardships of everyday life. ✨

So, if you’re someone who posts about book, food, travels, etc… please, please, please let me know. I’d love to follow you and fill my page with all the good stuff ❤️

... Read moreMany longtime users of Lemon8 cherish its original atmosphere—a welcoming space filled with genuine stories and creativity. The shift towards aggressive engagement tactics and sensational content has left a gap in community trust and joy. Authenticity once thrived here, fueled by posts about personal growth, handmade crafts, and uplifting journeys that resonated deeply. Rebuilding this vibrant, positive environment involves conscious choices from both creators and community members. To revive Lemon8’s supportive spirit, content creators can focus on sharing meaningful experiences—whether it’s a passion for travel, culinary arts, books, or fitness journeys—with honesty and enthusiasm. Avoiding clickbait and misleading claims not only preserves trust but enriches user connections. Viewers looking for uplifting content can curate their follows by prioritizing accounts that inspire and encourage, rather than distract with controversy or scams. By engaging positively and supporting genuine creators, users contribute to a healthier app culture. Social media platforms often evolve, but the desire for real connection remains timeless. Lemon8 once offered a refreshing corner of the internet where community thrived on encouragement and shared passions. Reclaiming this space means embracing authenticity, celebrating creativity, and fostering kindness through every post and interaction. If you’re passionate about books, food, travel, fashion, or wellness and wish to uplift others, consider joining the movement with hashtags like #BringBackOldLemon8 and #PositiveSpacesOnly. Let’s rebuild Lemon8 as a vibrant, safe, and inspiring hub where everyone feels welcome and valued.

I agree, and Lemon8 now feels like Instagram or Facebook. All I see are rude, entitled people in the comments, politics, scams, religious stuff on my FYP. Before the merge all I used to see was posts about people winning Lemon8 merch and posting stuff related to Lemon8, motivational post like weight lost, body positivity etc.

I loved lemon8 because it was just us girls here. Now men are in my comment section and it sucks. I miss being able to post what I want without men being gross in my comment section. Can anyone else relate? #unfiltered #Lemon8Diary

Anyone else miss the old Lemon8??
Has anyone else felt the shift since TikTok has been filtering all its users here? Not to sound unwelcoming, but the reason I really loved this app was because it was different than the others. I never wanted another tiktok! All the creators there are just reposting here. And I respect the hustle

Lemon8….. this is not okay!
Honestly, I miss the old Lemon8 vibes. There was something so refreshing about having a cozy, unique space away from TikTok’s fast pace. Now that they’re collaborating, it feels like it’s losing its identity a little. I came to Lemon8 for creativity and calm, not TikTok feed. Here’s hoping it keeps
