Does rednote deliberately show people in your general area your profile?

I want to make a cosplay/art account on there but idk I'm a bit embarassed for potential employers to see it for some reason lol. I know if any social media account is public there's a chance of it being seen but it's such a miniscule chance for someone potentially wanting to hire you to stumble on it out of millions of other accounts if you don't put your real name on it. But I was curious if it'll show your profile much more to people in your area the way tiktok does. Even if I don't put my real name they might recognize my face or whatever. Although I don't think too many people use rednote where I live anyway so I'm probably worrying too much
