I had no idea that communities had taken off on Lemmy since 2 years ago! I didn't even realize I still had an account on here.
Really excited to see where this goes, and to support a Canadian server. Fingers crossed that this gains more traction in Canada and can act as strong shield against misinformation and bad faith actors.
I'll be certain to spread the word about this community more to fellow Canadians. I think with current events this could be the lightning in the bottle to see more usage here.
Any communities worth looking at?
Welcome back ๐
If you're looking for communities related to those recent events, then [email protected] and [email protected] come to mind as being relevant.
Otherwise a lot of new communities have emerged (or migrated) from 2 years ago. We have this guide now on finding communities, you could try the lemmyverse suggestion with topics you're looking into
