Revision as of 15:18, 13 April 2022

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 and jurisdiction 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].
