So what we expected finally happened.

Reddit quarantined (and might soon ban) the most active communist subreddit, and one of the very few non-western-supremacist ones left.

We’ve gotten dozens of new applications, and are approving them as quickly as we can.

Here are a few Lemmy mobile apps for Android and iOS, if you prefer using those over the web app.

If you have any questions, or if there’s anything we can help with, new ideas or communities, or anything that can make the transition away from stormfront easier, let us on the mod team know.

Reddit, Silicon valley, surveillance capitalism, bourgeois media, down with them!

Another welcome post describing Lemmy.

      I know the name wasn’t chosen with that in mind, but I see it as being pretty ironic and funny for two reasons:

      • Redditors think they’re unique free-thinkers, and aren’t duped by their own media, unlike those lemmings.
      • Lemmings the animal don’t actually walk off cliffs like the video game, so that’s kinda highlighting propaganda in itself.
