Activity out of the ordinary in US - Video on TikTok

There seems to be a sudden and inordinate increase in people signing up from the US tonight…

Welcome to the forum @Otago

You are right and there are still more registrations:

Do you know why that happened?
The users come from different states.
Has there been a report about postcrossing on TV or in a national newspaper?

I just found out about this from a TikTok. Maybe that’s it?

Welcome @popcornjennybean :laughing:

TikTok - this could be the reason.

I was curious about this too and searched Postcrossing via TikTok.
Apparently this video blew up (posted 12 hours ago and already got 10.2k Likes!!) so people are interested.
Thank you Brie for introducing Postcrossing in very modern day style😉

Hi @Florallle, thanks for warm welcome☺️
Actually I registered via this Japanese blog on May 2021, almost two years ago and loving every moment :smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts::smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Do we know the username of the person posting the video? I expect they’ll be getting the Ambassador badge?

Hi! I went to her account on TikTok and found another video introducing how to signup for Postcrossing posted about 6 hours ago.
She showed her account page with her username on that video, and brieanne would be her username
She is not active on Forum I assume (because I could not refer to her using @)

(As I type this, her TikTok post’s likes increased from 10.2k to 10.4k,
number of video viewed are currently 96.1k, just wow.)

Awww… this is brilliant and really unexpected! I’ve given Brie a well-deserved ambassador badge, for bringing hundreds of new members to us. Hurray! :tada:

I also found Postcrossing through TikTok! It wasn’t this video specifically, but someone else who showed their desk set up and what they do to prepare a card. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, and here I am. It’s so cool to see people finding it on that platform :smiley:

Thank y’all for the ambassador badge, I never expected the video I originally posted to ever blow up. But I’m happy it did & was able to share how wonderful Postcrossing is. As of this morning the video has over 266k + views & 32k likes!

I had googled and found the website way before but was a little skeptical until I watch her videos and others on TT then I was like I’ll take the blung.
