Lemmygrad is a communist, Marxist-Leninist social media platform founded in August 2019.[1] Lemmygrad is based on Lemmy.

Lemmygrad was created by dessalines and Farmer Heck.[a] It has over 34,000 posts and over 360 active users.[2]

History

Lemmygrad was the second Lemmy instance created, after lemmy.ml.[3] Lemmygrad's mission statement is to create a proletarian-owned and controlled social media platform that exists outside the control and jurisdiction of US tech companies. Lemmy shares a similar mission statement.[4]

r/GenZedong immigration

In March 2022, Reddit quarantined r/GenZedong, which resulted in GenZedong users migrating to Lemmygrad to keep the community solvent.[5] After Reddit banned and removed r/GenZhou, an educational companion subreddit to r/GenZedong, Lemmygrad users resurrected an archive of it at /c/genzhouarchive.[6]

DDoS attack

In April 2022, liberals organized a series of distributed denial of service attacks against Lemmygrad.[7]

Purge of patriotic socialists

In July 2022, the moderators of Lemmygrad made a joint statement banning patriotic socialism and support for settler colonialism.[8] In September 2022, MAGA communists banned from Lemmygrad created an impostor instance called lemmygrad.com.[9]

User demographics

Lemmygrad's user demographic has been growing steadily as Reddit continues to censor Marxist and communist communities,[10] and as racist attacks against Chinese and Russian users increase.
