    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.

      There’s a fairly inactive community for Saskatoon: !saskatoon@lemmy.ca

      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: !regina@lemmy.ca

    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!

        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.

    !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).

      Thank you! Added all three to the post and the sidebar.

      I’ll also keep a look out for the other teams if they should pop up :)
