LIHKG (Chinese:連登;Cantonese Yale:Lìhn dāng) is a multi-categoryforum website based inHong Kong. The website has gained popularity since the launch in 2016, and is often referred to as the Hong Kong version ofReddit.[1][2][3]
Threads with more up-votes and replies appear towards the top of topic sections and, if they receive sufficient votes and replies, they will ultimately be on the site's "Popular" section.[4]
The website is well known for being one of the main platforms for discussing the strategies for the leaderlessanti-extradition bill protests in 2019.[5][6]
In 2016, HKG+, a 3rd party app ofHKGolden was suspended by HKGolden.[7] On 21 November 2016, the developer of HKG+ announced on their Facebook page that they have shared part of the source code of the app with another developers, Hui Yip-hang (許業珩), who is known as "連尼住" (Jyutping:lin4 nei4 zyu6) on the forum, and Mong Yuen (望遠).[8][9] Based on the source code, they developed LIHKG.
Registration of membership is restricted to people with aHong KongISP or an institution of higher education email address located in Hong Kong. Registered members may create threads on the site, while uploading contents such as text posts, hyperlinks or images. The posts then receive replies and may be voted up or down by other members. Posts are separated into various categories and are then grouped in the "Chat" category.[10][11]
In December 2019, the LIHKG website was subjected to aDDoS attack by theGreat Cannon of China.[12]
