They must be those cool folks from r/onguardforthee and r/fredericton! Lets get off those american Reddit servers eh!
Update: thereβs a thread on r/buycanadian with 93 upvotes, promoting the platform! Open the floodgates baby!
I'm not on lemmy.ca but as a moose I appreciate this post and my fellow Canadians π¨π¦π«
Why not sh.itjust.works?
We can promote both! I just know Lemmy.ca more.
Just joined to get away from Reddit - Iβm pleasantly surprised with how active it seems here despite the much smaller community! This is exciting!
We like to party too!
Question for you: are pretty much all of the users Canadian or in Canada? Is it possible to tell?
You can join communities on other instances too if you have specific interests.
I would assume most users are Canadian as they would have more related interests here.
Hi, I use sh.itjust.works, another fantastic Canadian instance, and I'm British! Big love!
Its a great time to join. I think many of us have been lurkers in reddit and now with the tides of change we need to also make Lemmy active, especially the Canadian sites
There's some Facebook 'buy Canadian' groups with over half a million people in - this server occasionally comes up there too when people are looking for Canadian hosted discussion sites to ditch big American tech like reddit or Facebook groups.
Thank you for informing me as that brings a smile to my face.
Update: we just hit 9.2k! Keep up the surge folks! Keep Shadow busy tonight!
Doesn't the new server support at least 10x-100x the current capacity? I think it was a huge machine compared to the old one. I guess storage is separate.
Thatβs a lot of potential wiggle room. 92k to 920k potential registered users while currently LW has 174k, thatβs one crazy hardware upgrade. The servers will become cheaper to run in the future as we put to use our economies of scale.
Now that you spell out these numbers, probably not 100x. π
I was going to post my standard Tankie Triad warning for new users, but looks like lemmy.ca defed's from the entire Triad already LMAO
...I need to move to Canada....
Well except for Lemmy.ml. You must be thinking about Lemmy.cafe.
Oh I double checked and you don't, but I saw enterprise.lemmy.ml and voyager.lemmy.ml sub domains and assumed the main lemmy.ml was as well lol
Heck yeah! Letβs make this ship rad!
Welcome fellow canucks!
I look forward to the communities you create and contribute to!
There isnβt room for multiple social media in my life and i will try with only Lemmy for a few months. I did came from r/BuyCanadian with curiosity more than the US boycott in mind. I plead guilty!
No need to feel guilty about doing the right thing.
And there's not an endless stream of content on lemmy, so it doesn't eat up too much time.
I switched to Lemmy.ca with the first wave and have found zero reasons to go back to Reddit since.
There are nifty migration tools that help you find Lemmy equivalent communities for the subreddits you were subscribed to.
Nice so they were talking about us there!
