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.

    I just checked out that thread you made here, and that’s some amazing content. I’ve literally been here for a day and I’m already dreading a potential drop in the quality of our discussions. Fingers crossed we continue to contribute and expect such quality.

    I was curious to see the Hexbear responses as well, and as they aren’t federated yet, would you mind sharing a link here, please?

      Sure. Here is my identical post on Hexbear.

      The “discussion” that takes place is ambiguous at best, however, it didn’t get too many views. It seems theory-type posts like that wouldn’t do so well. (Again, most likely because of differing attitudes and communities)
