Welcome 🍁


Lemmy.ca is run by Canadians, hosted in Canada, and geared toward Canadians. However, it is not restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!

To learn more about what Lemmy is, or how the Fediverse works, you can visit our simple Getting Started Guide.

This site is run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.


Rules and Guidelines

1. No BigotryIncluding racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.

2. Be CivilArgue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.

3. No PornThis instance is not made to host porn communities. You're free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.

4. Use the NSFW tagUse your common sense: if you wouldn't want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the
spoiler ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner. :::
5. No Ads / SpamThis instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn't be to only advertise, make it natural.

6. Bot accountIf you are the operator of a "bot" account, make sure to flag is as such in the account's settings.

7. Right to privacyDo NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.

8. Report abuseThe report function isn't labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn't mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.

9. ImpersonationDon't make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn't.

If you need to find the most popular community across all servers in the fediverse use this link :

https://browse.feddit.de/

For example if you searched ‘new york’ you would be able using that page to find the one with the most users or engagement rather than joining a less popular community.

If anyone needs help just ask below :)

IMO this should be a pinned post in the default community of every instance

Our friends at feddit.de have created a live search tool for Lemmy communities! Type in your search term and the community browser will show you a list of communities sorted by total number of posts (descending). This will help ensure that you pick the most active variant of a particular community.

The search results will give you three major blocks of information.

  1. The direct URL and a copy URL button. Use this URL in the community search box.
  2. The name of the community. You can click this to read the community sidebar and see if the community is right for you.
  3. Vital statistics (instance URL, post, comment, and subscriber counts).

So far it doesn't look like it will show you any kbin magazines (what kbin calls a community). Rest assured you can still search for and find kbin magazines the old fashioned way -- just not with browse.feddit.de.

If anyone has any images they think would make a good banner for this community, post it here :)

Image needs to have a pretty wide aspect ratio, you can see in the link on this post an example of banners on the lemmy community browser.

I know there is a search option in Beehaw but not all results were listed from other instances. This search seems all-inclusive and pretty helpful to find communities.
