Abstract

This paper aims to explore how the online interest-based communities on Xiaohongshu reflect the development of the new “tribe” form predicted by McLuhan and how this tribalization contributes to the vitality of the online interest-based communities and the maintenance of healthy content production. Within the framework of McLuhan’s media theory of tribalization, this paper compares the development of different interest-based communities on Xiaohongshu and the differences between Xiaohongshu and Douban, another famous online interest-based community platform. By doing horizontal and vertical comparisons, this essay points out that Xiaohongshu has well promoted the connection between and the development of the online interest-based communities through accurate real-time data transmission, vertical management of platform, and encouragement of participation. This paper enriches the observation of the interest-based communities on Xiaohongshu from several perspectives, pointing out how the tightly connected “tribes” maintain the vitality of the online interest-based communities.
