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, /r/GenZedong was quarantined by Reddit, 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]
April 2022 DDoS Attack
In April 2022, liberals organized a series of Distributed Denial of Service attacks against Lemmygrad.[7]
User Demographic
Lemmygrad's user demographic has been growing steadily as Reddit continues to censor Marxist and communist communities,[8] and as racist attacks against Chinese and Russian users increase.
