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.
!nanaimo@lemmy.ca is another city community.
/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It's really just me and @CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works posting articles from local news....
Thank you! The community looks good :)
I've gone through and updated the post/sidebar + added the community
There is also /c/TorontoCycling
Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section
!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).
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 !Windsor@lemmy.ca
Thank you for making that, and sorry for the delay. It's been updated in the post and sidebar now!
Man Vancouver community is a wasteland...
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
Once one person starts posting regularly and others see it, eventually more people will join in!
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 / Culture section, and I listed this one as Logiciels libres au Québec
Hahaha 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!
There's a French Canadian community as well:
Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section
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.
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!
