LIHKG (Chinese: 連登; Cantonese Yale: Lìhn dāng) is a multi-category forum website based in Hong Kong. The website has gained popularity since the launch in 2016, and is often referred to as the Hong Kong version of Reddit.[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 leaderless anti-extradition bill protests in 2019.[5][6]
