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 @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
!nanaimo@lemmy.ca is another city community.
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
Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar
We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but !torontoraptors@lemmy.ca is trying to get traction.
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!
Cheers!
There is also /c/TorontoCycling
Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section
!oceanside_bc@lemmy.ca East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay
thank you, it should be added now :)
Another good town on Lemmy!
Would love if you could add !ndp@lemmy.ca, and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a “politics” category?
Thank you, updated!
!kootenays@lemmy.ca (BC) is not growing much but could be added?
Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar
There’s a French Canadian community as well:
Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section
Thank you, it’s been added to both!
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!
Hey does /c/bieres_quebec count?
Added!
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!
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 !canadiangaming@lemmy.ca 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 !comoxvalley@lemmy.ca (BC)
Thanks! It has been added
!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 :)
If I see any, I’ll be sure to let you know!
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
