Everyone just shows up in the same feed. USians are making posts in English alongside all the posts in Chinese. I've seen Chinese users making jokes like "Give me your data!" or "Welcome, I'm your new Chinese spy". I saw one comment on a post that read, "They better start posting in English soon." which, was getting heavily flamed. Lots of Luigi posting, it would seem. I also keep getting Chinese accounts posting a lot of really cool Socialist Realism art/propaganda posters, old and new. Lots of cringe USians making posts about being "refugees" on the app.

Ive been unable to make an account - either i dont get the 6 digit code to my phone or get an error message when i try to use google. I imagine its just overloaded right now

I got in but my wife is having trouble with delayed verification texts. Possibly a timing issue, probably easier when the rest of America is asleep.

i was able to use google signin from australia, but i initially tried the normal phone number method and i didn't receive the sms at all

Using WeChat to sign in worked for me instantly. Maybe try that?

Don't you need another WeChat user to help you make a WeChat account if you're not Chinese? Assuming OP doesnt already have one.

I was able to make one without any issue

Hmm. I think maybe my issue is that I had an account with my phone number but I lost access and can't get it back without someone that I added. I'll have to look into it again.
