I strongly suspect that the main devs are not only active on Lemmygrad, but in fact run it. When lemmy.ml went down for technical reasons, so did Lemmygrad.
That said, I am happy that some of the really stupid people that frequent Lemmygrad are not posting here directly on lemmy.ml too much, so I guess it was a good decision to officially split off that community early.
A DNS check indicates that lemmy.ml and lemmygrad.ml are hosted on the same IP address, so I think your hunch is right:
https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php?query=lemmy.ml&rtype=ALL&dns=google
https://dnschecker.org/all-dns-records-of-domain.php?query=lemmygrad.ml&rtype=ALL&dns=google
@nutomic@lemmy.ml Could you confirm this?
agreed, I don't like linking online identities of a single person together, but just checking the posting history of a lemmygrad admin and one of lemmy develper's reddit account clearly shows that they are the same person.
