This is a world historic event folks. You should be on it. By the way the name xiaohongshu is a reference to Mao. Decades and weeks and all that.
Edit: Oh also there's no private message or group chat on web version so you have to use mobile app!

Turns out that 小红书 isn't a reference to Mao. 红宝书 is Mao's book.
In English we use "little red book" to refer to Quotations From Chairman Mao, but in Chinese they use 红宝书 which literally translates to "red treasure book" (or "red treasured book" with treasure being a verb)
Although 小红书 can translate literally to the Western name for Mao's quotes, the name actually alludes more to an award or certificate, in keeping with the app's original concept as a social media platform for reviewing/previewing restaurants and services.
was gonna comment this too thanks. It's funny or whatever to think haha the typically anticommunists are flocking to the app with a revolutionary name but no... it's just a very funny translation coincidence.
How dare you correct me. Just kidding thank you I jumped to conclusions.
