Cultural Tip
In France, the term 'réseaux sociaux' covers a wide range of platforms, from Facebook and Instagram to newer apps like TikTok. When talking about hobbies online, French speakers often use the verb 'suivre' (to follow) rather than 'chercher', especially when they want to stay updated with specific creators. Also, note that 'hobbies' is an Anglicism; many native speakers prefer 'loisirs' or 'passions' in formal contexts.
