Lemmygrad is a communist, Marxist-Leninist social media platform founded in August 2019.[1] It is built on Lemmy,[2] which is a FOSS, federated[3], alternative to Reddit. Lemmygrad was developed by comrades dessalines and nutomic, and is run by a collection of communists from around the world.
Lemmygrad was the second Lemmy server created, after lemmy.ml[4]. Its mission statement closely matches that of the the Lemmy software[5]; to create a proletarian owned-and-controlled social media platform, that exists outside the control of US tech companies.
Its user base been growing steadily as Reddit continues to censor Marxist and communist communities[6], and as racist attacks against Chinese and Russian users increase.
In 2022, GenZedong was quarantined by Reddit, which resulted in a migration to Lemmygrad to keep the community solvent.[7] After Reddit banned and removed /r/GenZhou, an educational companion subreddit to /r/GenZedong, Lemmygrad users resurrected an archive of it at /c/genzhouarchive[8].
