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 think we all have to get over the user interface differences and make a big effort to make this place work. If we can get a critical mass of people it can avalanche into a thriving hub.

      Yup, luckily this site is based on an open-source project called Lemmy, and anyone can make new user interfaces, or apps. Federation does genuinely have the possibility of breaking the monopoly stranglehold silicon valley tech company’s have on the world’s social media.
