Lemon8 is a new social media app created by ByteDance, the creators of the wildly popular TikTok app. Designed to be a lifestyle app, Lemon8 is like a mixture of Instagram and Pinterest. It's photo-heavy but allows users to share recipes, outfits, travel guides, and more.

With its Pinterest-like feed, Lemon8 feels less addictive than an app like Tiktok or Instagram, giving social media users something refreshing to get creative with. The user has way more creative freedom with their posts due to the library of tools that the app already has.

The app is free to download. And creators can start thinking about how Lemon8 can fit into their existing social media tools. It could be a good idea for creators to sign up early so they get their preferred username. And so that they can figure out how to use the app sooner rather than later.

Bottom Line: is Lemon8 safe for kids? Too much exposure, too little controls. With such a lack of privacy on this platform, on top of its connection to ByteDance, it's simply not worth the potential risks. For now, use at your own risk.
