For those who don’t know, Reddit announced they would start asking outrageous prices for API access, which will essentially kill off all third party apps.

We’ve received quite a few new account requests after this announcement, and expect to receive more, so this post is aimed at you, prospective lemmygrad member!

We’ll go through each account application with due diligence, but we would like you to know before you request an account that Lemmygrad is a Marxist instance, principally Marxist-Leninist. We like Stalin and we uphold the DPRK’s sovereignty and legitimacy over the whole of Korea. We love China’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristics.

You can always request an account but you will likely be disappointed in your browsing experience if we approve you and you find yourself surrounded by MLs if you are not one.

Up to a few seconds ago, our tagline said “leftist communities” instead of “marxist communities” on join-lemmy, and I’m guessing that’s why many non-marxist socialists wanted to join us.

You might prefer lemmy.ml or hexbear.net, although hexbear is not federated with anyone yet.

    DPR Korea isn’t sovereign over the whole of Korea.

    Not yet, anyway. Hopefully soon.

      I believe legitimacy is the better term, they are the legitimate government of the whole of Korea.

      i’m pretty sure it’s two clauses; lemmygrad upholds the DPRK’s sovereignty and upholds its legitimacy over the whole of korea.

        Ths is how I understood when I read it too. But I can see how original commenter got their interpretation, since it’s kinda worded that way.
