Over the past few days, with worries of r/genzedong being banned, we have seen a major uptick in new accounts created. The admin team at Lemmygrad and, I’m sure, the whole community as well would like to welcome you here! Lemmygrad is built by communists and for communists, there is no censorship here and no worries about being banned for being Marxist-Leninists.
Lemmygrad is not too different from what you’re used to on Reddit. We have our own c/genzedong community, as well as unique communities such as c/palestine, c/prolewiki, c/feminism and even c/me_IRA, which is very much alive and well on Lemmygrad.
Some other advantages of Lemmygrad over Reddit is our federated aspect (anyone can make their instance and federate with us), our ML community, and of course our hands-off approach. There are no investors to please here, there are no CIA agents moderating content. You can talk about piracy, you can say what you want to do to fascists, without being reported by a lib and suspended for it.
We have had to enable account applications for a while now as we were under a fascist raid not too long ago, but please be assured that we get around to approving accounts very, very quickly.
Finally, if there is anything that you need help with regarding lemmygrad, please feel free to ask in this thread! We hope that the switch will not be too confusing for you, and that you will adopt lemmygrad as your new communication and memeing platform!
I cross-posted from /r/InformedTankie to about 13 or so subreddits with the Lemmygrad link.
I think more people should be incoming today.
We have a world to win!
I took my sweet time despite being a long term Lemmy member, because I wanted to have a certain level of education as someone still between socialism and communism. HK riots opened my eyes and Bayarea’s (where are you T_T) content really helped reverse years of brainrot since childhood.
There is a major disadvantage it being “built by communists and for communists”. Communist ideas must be spread.
True, but at the same time one thing does not exclude the other. Us having discussions inside our community increase the flow of ideas that we share elsewhere. If we begin discussing ways to organize propaganda from here to other social media, it would be even better
Its aboslutly amazing that this webbsite exists and I’m glad to be here
To give an idea of how many applications we’ve had, I counted 130 new users in the past 3 days, all (or at least 99%) from Genzedong.
Are you the same revionists behind r/communism on Reddit?
The mods who run the r/com do not run the lemmy version.
Also wanna say that lemmy has smartphone apps for android and iOS. Not as full-featured as the website on mobile, but they’re open source and active.
there is no iOS app. Remmel is currently not on the app store and hasn’t been working for a while.
There’s a new one being worked on, called Mlem. Its still in the very early stages tho. I think its on testflight.
Update: there are 2 apps in testflight right now:
- Mlem
- Memmy
I personally really like the Memmy app (even though it’s in alpha)
