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.
[email protected] exists but is super quiet still.
[email protected] is another community that is becoming more active
[email protected] is another city community.
Thanks! Added it to both
Love the banner and icon :)
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]
Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar
/c/ThunderBay exists, but doesn’t have much activity yet.
thank you! Added
We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but [email protected] is trying to get traction.
Thank you! added
I tried to start a community called Assorted Crafts, but for some reason the url shows up with my user name instead of the community name.
How can I fix it? Do I need to blow it away and start again?
Ah, I can see how the ‘name’ field can be misinterpreted. That was supposed to be the short name of the community, and it will appear in the URL. Unfortunately, that field can’t be changed after the community as been created. Even if we mess with the database on lemmy.ca, it might show up incorrectly elsewhere.
Since the community is just starting out, the easiest would be to make a new one with the name that you want.
There are also a few other communities that you might enjoy:
It’s totally up to you if you want to post in those or if you want to build your own community. If you want to build your own, you can also cross post to / from these communities to help it grow.
Thanks, I guess I’ll try again.
/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It’s really just me and @[email protected] posting articles from local news…
Thank you! The community looks good :)
I’ve gone through and updated the post/sidebar + added the community
Thank you, it’s been added to both!
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.
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!
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 [email protected] 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!
please add [email protected] (BC)
Thanks! It has been added
Hey does /c/bieres_quebec count?
Added!
May I request that [email protected] be added under the politics section?
Thanks! Both should be updated now :)
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
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.
Thank you! I’ve renamed the last section and added the new communities there
I also made !inuit and !indigenous communities. Gotta cover everyone :)
Sorry for the delay, it’s been updated!
There’s a French Canadian community as well:
Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section
Would love if you could add [email protected], and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a “politics” category?
Thank you, updated!
There is also /c/TorontoCycling
Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section
[email protected] (BC) is not growing much but could be added?
Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar
[email protected] 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, [email protected] would be a good community to add to the soccer category.
For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there’s [email protected] 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
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!
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 Otter, is the admin DM checked here? I sent a DM to there asking about taking over a specific community here that has an inactive mod and also inviting users from various Canadian Reddit subs to use this Lemmy, but it’s been like 2 or so weeks and no reply. No rush, or being pushy for a yes or anything, just want to know if it’s been received.
Hi Slyke,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! The team has been extra busy these past few days. We did receive the message and we should have acknowledged it sooner.
Someone should hopefully review is soon and get back to you!
All good, thanks for letting me know!
