Make yourselves at home!
Originally established by moderators of r/Philippines as a short term Reddit alternative in response to the blackouts, it quickly took on a life of its own and now operates as a permanent separate community.
Members refer to themselves as either “lemmings”, “lemons” or the few punny titles with an interesting backstory (“sinuka ng Reddit”) such as “phlemmys” and “phlemmings”.

I don’t know, but for their own sake, I sure hope any Filipinos, heck, any person in the lemmygrad and hexbear (more radical than lemmygrad) instances have excellent opsec practices.
Pihado, kung tagilid ang opsec practices nila, kung hindi yan sila titiktikan ng husto, gagawan ng kaso, o papatumbahin. Di na kailangang-i-redtag tho, so… I guess that’s a plus?
I actually made an r/PH version in Raddle despite an existing Filipino community being there already. Turns out, they’re (in the mod’s own words) “leftist/anarchist-centric” forum so he said that it’s better off that we remain separate. 😬
Ah, thanks for the clarification.
Yeah, that is quite a reasonable decision, and I guess a win-win for both communities, since Reddit refugees who are aligned to their views, guided from /r/PH to the /r/PH version in Raddle, could simply hop over and join them if they (the refugees) so desire.
