			=== R/TheDeprogram migration ===
			In September 2025, the unofficial subreddit for [[The Deprogram]] was banned from Reddit without prior warning.<ref>https://lemmygrad.ml/post/9092730</ref> In the hours following the ban and thanks to posts made on subreddits overlapping with the deprogram, an influx of new users came to Lemmygrad. In the wake of the ban, other subreddits have also considered Lemmygrad to recreate their communities there, expecting their subreddits to be banned as well.
