If there is a growing community that should be in this list, please comment it below.
If you think a category should / should not be in this list, let us know. There are so many amazing communities, but we also don’t want this list to feel overwhelming.
!CanadianSkincare@lemmy.ca is another community that is becoming more active
!nanaimo@lemmy.ca is another city community.
We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but !torontoraptors@lemmy.ca is trying to get traction.
There’s a French Canadian community as well:
Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section
please add !comoxvalley@lemmy.ca (BC)
Thanks! It has been added
Hey, I added Burnaby, Anmore, Squamish, Whistler, Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake.
https://lemmy.ca/c/NiagaraFalls
https://lemmy.ca/c/NiagaraOnTheLake
Will moderate them, but looking for new mods who might live in these areas. I’ve lived either in or near them. And still visit.
Thanks, I’ve added them all
If you want an example of a call for mods, here’s one I posted from a while back: https://lemmy.ca/post/31769390
I love the photos you chose for each community. Looking forward to seeing them grow!
Hey does /c/bieres_quebec count?
Added!
Oh there’s also /c/QuebecLibre which is NOT about Québec separatism, but about free (as in LIBRE) open source software in Québec.
Added as well!
I added both to the
🍁 Social / Culturesection, and I listed this one asLogiciels libres au QuébecHahaha that’s perfect
There are two communities I would really like to see some traffic driven to:
!maplemusic@lemmy.ca - Celebrating Canadian music
!givergaming@lemmy.ca - Celebrating Canadian games, gamedevs and studios
I think these would be an easy add to the Canadian Social / Culture section.
Thanks! I’ve added them to the post and sidebar
MapleMusic has a recent post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, but !givergaming@lemmy.ca could doesn’t so it could be good to post about it. Thanks for sharing them!
The owner of those two communities deleted his account. They passed moderation of maplemusic to me and one other person, but givergaming got deleted with their account.
I’ve created !canadiangaming@lemmy.ca to refill the void. Out of the two, a canadian gaming community was the one I was hoping to take off the most since I’m more of a gamer person than a music person. I’ve got some plans for fostering a community on there. I’ll post about it in !communitypromo once I’ve got it set up a bit nicer, it is sorta barebones at the moment.
Strange how I didn’t want to mod any communities on here but ended up moderating 3!
!greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It’s not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.
Also, !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca would be a good community to add to the soccer category.
For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there’s !torontofc@lemmy.ca of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don’t think have a community created.
None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).
Hello!
I have made the 2 political communities: Animal Protection Party of Canada and BC Greens for environmentalists and vegans to discuss important issues on the fediverse as I would like to encourage more growth on community owned social media ran by everyday canadians and to avoid the conflicts that may arise with corporate owned social media namely Facebook and Twitter interfering with campaigning that goes against their commercial interests.
May I request that !appc and !bcgreens be listed under !ndp under the politics section.
Please and Thank you <3
Would love if you could add !ndp@lemmy.ca, and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a “politics” category?
@leftwingmememachine @otter don’t you mean ndp@lemmy.ca?
At least in the browser, adding an exclamation mark redirects you to the community. Without the exclamation mark my phone thinks its an email address.
