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.

/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It's really just me and @[email protected] posting articles from local news....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you! The community looks good :)

I've gone through and updated the post/sidebar + added the community

There's a fairly inactive community for Saskatoon: [email protected]

Hopefully putting it here gets it more visibility.

Edit: Since we don't really hate each other, even if we pretend to, I'll also point out Regina's community: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

There are two communities I would really like to see some traffic driven to:

[email protected] - Celebrating Canadian music

[email protected] - Celebrating Canadian games, gamedevs and studios

I think these would be an easy add to the Canadian Social / Culture section.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Thanks! I've added them to the post and sidebar

MapleMusic has a recent post on [email protected], but [email protected] could doesn't so it could be good to post about it. Thanks for sharing them!

Thanks! It has been added

Oh there's also /c/QuebecLibre which is NOT about Québec separatism, but about free (as in LIBRE) open source software in Québec.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Added as well!

I added both to the 🍁 Social / Culture section, and I listed this one as Logiciels libres au Québec

There's a French Canadian community as well:

Canada_Francais

Man Vancouver community is a wasteland...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

We need some more activity there for sure. There are a lot of users here from Vancouver, we just don't seem to use the community much

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

Once one person starts posting regularly and others see it, eventually more people will join in!

I went ahead and made a Windsor community! Windsor is the city I was born in and I grew up in Essex County, so I felt a little left out not being on this list. While the community is named for Windsor, I figured it'd make sense to welcome content from all over Essex county instead of making community bloat for every town in the county.

/c/Windsor or [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Thank you for making that, and sorry for the delay. It's been updated in the post and sidebar now!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

For sure! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to sit down at a computer to make the changes properly and check over all the links, and then kept procrastinating.

They should be updated now, thank you for making those!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you Otter! A lot of things work nicely doing on the computer.

We got 13 political parties in BC and 18 In Canada. 15% and 16% are respectively covered on Lemmy.

So hopefully more join the list so that more people can receive their messaging on the Fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (3 children)

I have recently created two first nations based communities on Lemmy.ca as requested from the 2023 instance census. Please add [email protected] & [email protected] to the community list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I've renamed the last section and added the new communities there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I also made !inuit and !indigenous communities. Gotta cover everyone :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Sorry for the delay, it's been updated!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

May I request that [email protected] be added under the politics section?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

!oceanside_[email protected] East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Another good town on Lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

thank you, it should be added now :)

Awesome good to have more spaces on Lemmy <3

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Would love if you could add [email protected], and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Thank you, updated!
