Hi SushiVid Fam,
Remember that time when TikTok was deemed a national security threat by the US Government? When the news that TikTok would be banned spread, there came an app that was introduced as an alternative, and it quickly became the number one most downloaded app in the US a month after the news broke. The app is Lemon8, a social media app owned by ByteDance, who also owns TikTok. At a glance, Lemon8’s content can be likened as a lovechild of Pinterest and TikTok, with additional editing functions like Canva. Its main attraction is definitely its easy editing functions that allow users to cutout images and cute stickers without having to go to another app.
In this article, we compile eight trending contents from Lemon8 users in Malaysia, by showing you the trending hashtags with most views on Lemon8. Please note that this list is not arranged in order of view count.
1. #StudyHacksWe start off with #StudyHacks which has over two million accumulated views. With its cute and aesthetic editing, Lemon8 easily captures students’ attention as they find it easier for users to share study tips such as preparation for exams, where they can show their note-taking method for class.

6. #Lemon8BodyShape
Being an app that places emphasis on the aesthetic quality of the post rather than quantity, it is normal for fashion content to climb to the top in terms of trending content. One of the trending hashtags is #Lemon8BodyShape, where users are sharing fashion tips on how to dress according to your body type. Lemon8 recently launched a new feature where you can find out your body shape by answering a simple quiz. This new feature can be found when you press the icon on the top left of your Lemon8 homepage.
I tried the function for myself, and it’s really helpful to know what outfits would look flattering on me.
No matter if you have pear, hourglass, or rectangle body shape, there are posts to help you out with showing the suitable outfit ideas that are flattering for your body. What is even more helpful is that many of these users even provided their height and weight in their profile bio as a reference for their followers.

In conclusion, although Lemon8 is known as a social media app, its users have utilize it so well that it turns into a truly informative app. Brands should start paying attention to the potential of Lemon8 to grow rapidly in just a short period.
