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.

    I didn’t realize that Lemmygrad had a new flood of users. That’s pretty sweet!

    I’m sorta new, and my account is a few months old. I loved GenZedong on Reddit and got really pissed off when it was removed for being too based. I also saw a few posts that reeked of liberalism and it pissed me off so much, I deleted all social media for good. However, I wanted to continue to consume more leftist content, so I found Lemmygrad from a GZD archive. All in all, I have been lurking for less than a year, and barely making posts and comments this past few months.

      People are flooding in because reddit is going to start charging exorbitant prices to use its API, effectively killing 3rd party client apps.

        So that’s why. The sooner that pedophilic, liberal-infested, Western-centric, Anime-filth-filled “social-media platform” dies, the better.

            You have a few gems like Cowboy Bebop and plenty of good films and shows, but I feel like the vast majority is literally just “OMG LITTLE GIRL MEGA BOOBA MAGIC EXPLOSION FANSERVICE”

              Not really, especially in recent years. Probably partially thanks to China, but the fan service stuff is getting increasingly rare. There is still some, but it is mostly tolerable.

              Vast majority of recent anime, anyway. There are still lots of gems made in the past. Some well-known, but most remain an unknown niche. (This also happens when most anime is made these days without much fanservice - either they become niche or ‘too boring’ for some people)

              Guess that explains why 99% of the anime I watch are all niche media, lmao.
