We’ve approved I don’t know how many new comrades here since the announcement that Reddit will kill its API access.

If you don’t know where to start posting on lemmygrad, this is a good thread to start in! You can also ask questions you have about federation or our instance.

Welcome!

The current lore is:

We are all feds on lemmygrad, but you get to choose your agency.

    Hello, I’ve been here for a little bit but anyways, I gained a small following by China- and DPRK-posting on Tiktok, I keep getting banned there so I’m focusing more on Substack and Youtube. I mostly break down western propaganda about AES countries. Hopefully people here enjoy my content, I’m trying not to spam or anything.

      Can I check out your videos comrade? And have you thought about making videos for ProleWiki?

          We had 385k views on a video for TikTok, but after that our reach got severely reduced, probably because we didn’t post enough or didn’t post in the right format. You can see our profile here: https://www.tiktok.com/@prolewiki

          TikTok is a very insular platform, they barely leave it because it has everything they want on it. What we found from our usage of TikTok is that on 385k views, you had maybe 10 of them check out the website. Compared to Twitter where on 100k views, we can get 100-200 people checking out the website on threads (with a call to action).

          There’s probably something we can work out, I’ll have to think about it and get back to you if that sounds good.

            Yep, same here, I’ve got several videos in the hundreds of thousands of views, but that doesn’t translate to anything off platform. Tiktok is relatively easy to grow on but unless you get a massive following it will stay almost completely self-contained. It’s not conducive to the in-depth content I like to make, since videos over 3 minutes long don’t get any views.

            I’m about to start making a series of videos doing in-depth debunks of the most common DPRK myths, like Otto Warmbier, the ‘3 generations of punishment’, etc.

            There’s probably something we can work out, I’ll have to think about it and get back to you if that sounds good.

            Sure, let me know.

      You keep getting banned on TikTok? Why exactly?

        Brigades by anti-communists. Mostly, and specifically, PraxBen’s community. You can’t post anything even remotely polarizing on Tiktok. It happens to pretty much all leftist creators of any size, like Midwestern Marx or even Hasanabi.

        It’s not worth the effort to try to make non-combative content, so I gave up.
