Lemmygrad is happy to welcome you while hexbear is down.
Please remember, however, that we work a bit differently from hexbear. Downvotes are enabled on our instance, and that's probably the biggest thing you'll notice.
Likewise, our rules differ a bit: we are a bit more serious than hexbear and less shitposty, especially outside the dedicated communities (such as memes, genzedong, shitXsay).
Finally, and this is probably the biggest difference, we don't have the same rules about left unity and its discourse - lemmygrad is not 100% ML but leans that way heavily.
We also don't have a rule about disengaging because we promote good faith and responsibility, but of course if someone is being a dick or harassing you you should report them.
In terms of federation we're federated with about the same instances you are, and in terms of emoji we have very few compared to you.
Otherwise I hope you enjoy your time on lemmygrad while Hexbear gets fixed.
Fuck, I was close to buying a hammer sickle keychain in the Xift shop
You where not sharing your Xi bucks?
I am taking away your communism licence

lemmygrad is not 100% ML
I'm devastated. I need to talk to the manager of grad right now!
Yeah sometimes it's used as an irony mark. I don't like /whatever nomenclature, and I grew up using (? as the irony mark but that's some culture lost to time :'(
It's you, because lemmygrad is collectively managed by its community!
What a bunch of tankie BS!
I want a parliamentary democracy that in no way reflects what I actually want but let's me feel superior because I get to use the word "democracy."

I will do my best to be a good guest of your little corner of cyber-space, respecting this site's culture and ways of doing things.
I already went in today fully knowing I was going to have a bad day but it really made it so much worse for Hexbear to be unexpectedly down and to not be able to distract myself with the shitposts.
I will try not to stink up the place with owls but it will take a lot of willpower
Hello Lemmygrad nerds! We love you! Thank you for being so accommodating!
KKSHH I have infiltrated the lemmygrad. Hexbear is back, but they won't be getting rid of me that easily. Over.
I feel lucky that by funny coincidence I created a backup alt on here a few days ago. I thought I probably wouldn't even use it and now I already have before the week was over.
Happy to share another space with comrades like Lemmygrad!
Happy to be here... The best posts are always here or Hexbear so it's the natural choice
Very cool site. I also lurked this place, but chose Hexbear bc of all the emojis.
Hexbear has like an emoji for everything, like what the fuck is even bridgette playing basketball
I love their emojis, but I do get overwhelmed by the sheer number of them that are used sometimes. Culture shock!
I love when they make a whole 4 panel comic using emojis, so silly
We are not so back! Comments from grad don't seem to be federating to Hexbear
Finally, and this is probably the biggest difference, we don’t have the same rules about left unity and its discourse - lemmygrad is not 100% ML but leans that way heavily.
Isn't hexbear like that... I thought Lemmygrad was supposed to be full-ML or smthn...
We're like 99% ML but sometimes have other tendencies requesting accounts, as well as newbies. We usually let them in since they are a tiny minority, but whether they end up using their account is not always decided.
I see way too many anarchist memes and ideas in general for hexbear to be a 99% ML instance.
Well, I mean, in the sense that they're now majority tankie-ish, due to their foreign policy... (it's based, I can attest to that)
If I were to guess, at least 60% are MLs of some kind...
However, they're more like shitliberalssay viewers than GenZedongers...
yeah I feel like 99% of Hexbear users are MLs anyway, but there's still the 'left unity' rules
I'm just here for my daily slop. Please excuse my Dumb Guy Socialism if I post any cringe.
Another big difference: you have to subscribe to communities to post in them
You can post without subscribing. Subscribing only shows the Create Post button in the sidebar. However if you go to https://lemmygrad.ml/create_post , you can select any community there even the ones you are not subscribed to.
What do you mean? I can both create posts and comments without being subscribed to them?
Oh you don't have to do that on hexbear? I don't think it's something we can control from the admin interface, maybe through the database.
I don’t think that’s true for any instance I’ve posted on, and I do a little posting.
