They must be those cool folks from r/onguardforthee and r/fredericton! Lets get off those american Reddit servers eh!
Update: thereโs a thread on r/buycanadian with 93 upvotes, promoting the platform! Open the floodgates baby!
I think I found Lemmy from r/EhBuddyHoser, sweet find!
May I ask which post has lead you here?
I'm not on lemmy.ca but as a moose I appreciate this post and my fellow Canadians ๐จ๐ฆ๐ซ
Just joined to get away from Reddit - Iโm pleasantly surprised with how active it seems here despite the much smaller community! This is exciting!
We like to party too!
Question for you: are pretty much all of the users Canadian or in Canada? Is it possible to tell?
Users that you see with an email-like suffix to their name are using different websites and are less likely to be Camadian (though, as you know/ we are everywhere). Users without the suffix (if your client omits local addressing) are on lemmy.ca and are much more likely to be Canadian.
There's some Facebook 'buy Canadian' groups with over half a million people in - this server occasionally comes up there too when people are looking for Canadian hosted discussion sites to ditch big American tech like reddit or Facebook groups.
Thank you for informing me as that brings a smile to my face.
Wait you mean .ca is Canada and not California??
California would be .ca.us but nearly no one uses .us addresses, a few states point their .us domain at their .com domain

Iโll still learning how to use it and I donโt know what the lemmys are or how the communities work but Iโm happy Iโm not supporting Reddit eh
Update: we just hit 9.2k! Keep up the surge folks! Keep Shadow busy tonight!
Doesn't the new server support at least 10x-100x the current capacity? I think it was a huge machine compared to the old one. I guess storage is separate.
Thatโs a lot of potential wiggle room. 92k to 920k potential registered users while currently LW has 174k, thatโs one crazy hardware upgrade. The servers will become cheaper to run in the future as we put to use our economies of scale.
Oh Canada, we must come together to protect our country from the insane monsters south of our border.
The insane monsters in canada too. Cough pp Cough danielle Smith Cough cough
There isnโt room for multiple social media in my life and i will try with only Lemmy for a few months. I did came from r/BuyCanadian with curiosity more than the US boycott in mind. I plead guilty!
I switched to Lemmy.ca with the first wave and have found zero reasons to go back to Reddit since.
There are nifty migration tools that help you find Lemmy equivalent communities for the subreddits you were subscribed to.
Its a great time to join. I think many of us have been lurkers in reddit and now with the tides of change we need to also make Lemmy active, especially the Canadian sites
Itโs a new world for me too. Thanks for having me.
after seeing a thread on r/buycanadian saying โpetition to rename the Americano, a Canadianoโ I knew the next step was to head over here & make an account lol
If you're talking coffee, Australia calls that a long black, though some are trying to import "americano" to mean "like a long black, but add the coffee before the water"
Update 2: 9.3k users has been hit! It keeps going!
Nope, here for a break from the drama on r/ehbuddyhoser.
Should probably find a place to cross post some of their memes here now that I think of it. The Bay of Nova Scotia was gold.
