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.

We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but [email protected] is trying to get traction.

Thank you! added

Thanks! Added it to both

Love the banner and icon :)

/c/ThunderBay exists, but doesn't have much activity yet.

[–] otter 3 points 2 years ago

thank you! Added

[–] Luci 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It's really just me and @[email protected] posting articles from local news....

[–] otter 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you! The community looks good :)

I've gone through and updated the post/sidebar + added the community

[–] dankm 3 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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]

[–] otter 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & 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).

[–] otter 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 :)

[–] SRGray 4 points 2 years ago

If I see any, I'll be sure to let you know!

[–] leftwingmememachine 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Would love if you could add [email protected], and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?

[–] otter 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you, updated!

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.

[–] otter 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's what happens in my web browser as well. I get a mailto: link when I click on that

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

[–] otter 3 points 2 months ago

Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section

[–] LimpRimble 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

!oceanside_[email protected] East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay

[–] otter 2 points 9 months ago

thank you, it should be added now :)

[–] Beaver 1 points 9 months ago

Another good town on Lemmy!

[–] Policeshootout 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thank you, it's been added to both!

[–] Beaver 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

May I request that [email protected] be added under the politics section?

[–] otter 2 points 6 months ago

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

[–] Sunshine 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] otter 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

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!

[–] Sunshine 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[–] Beaver 1 points 6 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] otter 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I've renamed the last section and added the new communities there

[–] Beaver 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I also made !inuit and !indigenous communities. Gotta cover everyone :)

[–] otter 2 points 6 months ago

Sorry for the delay, it's been updated!
