Hongkongggag is a Hong Kong meme page on Instagram. It is run by Card0, who created the page in its original form in July 2018. Due the old page being deleted by a rouge admin, the current iteration of the page actually was made in September 2019.

The term "hongkongggag" can also be used to refer to the discord server: 852 Resurgence and the WhatsApp/Signal Group Chats: The Resurgence, though the latter has become irrelevant. Followers of the page are sometimes, but not always, referred to as part of the community typically by Card0.

Follower Base

As of May 2023, Hongkongggag has over 65 thousand followers and is the largest English Hong Kong meme page, most of which come from Hong Kong. According to Card0, the next 4 countries with the most followers are the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, and Australia.

Most of hongkongggag's followers are in secondary school or university. Although Hongkongggag's follower base has traditionally predominately came from International schools in Hong Kong, recently the shift has become more balanced with more local school students and those of a more localised background following the page. Card0 has claimed that the ratio is 54:46 between people from international and local schools respectively.

Administration

Although Card0 makes most of the memes, and handles day to day running of the page, there are 3 other people that have access. These 3 people: flutters, Salmon and lemontea are all admins though they seldom engage much with the page.

Due to the joint-administrative nature of hongkongggag, direct messaging the Instagram account allows more than one person to view conversations.

Memes

Hongkongggag posts a wide variety of memes related to Hong Kong. Popular and common topics include politics, transport, history and culture.

Card0 often makes a lot of memes targeted at specific schools and universities as well as different areas in Hong Kong. One example of this would be Card0's dislike of LOHAS Park often bashing it in memes. Card0's dislike of YUU is also very prominent on the page, something the community mocks him for.

Meme Series

Occasionally, Card0 posts meme series, special memes that specialise in a specific topic. A prominent example of this would be Satirical Maps where an area is made fun of through a map. However other series would include making a meme a day for every New Town and memes for all of Hong Kong's universities.

There were many logos made by Card0 in the past, however the most recognisable logo featured simple black text reading "Hongkongggag" on a white background. According to Card0, it was made on Snapchat.

In March 2020, a logo competition was held. 2 contestants submitted designs and one of them, who wished to remain anonymous, won the contest. The logo was changed and has remained the same since that day. The logo has been changed slightly for Pride Month, Halloween and Christmas.
