This instance used to be communism.lemmy.ml and run by Dessalines and Nutomic right? I remember when I first joined Lemmy that’s where I posted to and those really old posts had since been relocated to Lemmygrad without me needing to do anything, so I assume it’s the exact same instance?

I’m really interested to know what the story of that is. It’s honesty been piquing my curiosity since Lemmygrad became its own thing. Does anyone know what happened?

    I think they just wanted more of a separation between lemmy and lemmygrad, have lemmy be less outwardly political and keep lemmygrad for us comrades. Not really sure though I’ve only known about this site since the Genzedong quarantine

    Dessalines is still an admin using the Muad account I believe

    I for one prefer it. I see lemmygrad as a nice and small community where theory gets talked about without many liberals giving me a headache
