MODERATORS
 

Is there any active halifax or Nova Scotia communities on Lemmy? The ones on .ca were made by an account that seems to have ghosted.

Ideally it would be a community that is already moderated, but I'm willing to help moderate if necessary.

Unfortunately this seems to be the only one on Lemmy. Maybe you can take it over? I think you'd have to message the administrators of this instance to have yourself appointed.

It's a small province, and most people here that found the Fediverse did so as a part of Hali-Twitter migrating to (and then abandoning of) Mastodon after Elon bought the birdsite. There was really zero movement from r/Halifax or r/NovaScotia during the Reddit app bullshit. So, we're a pretty rarified bunch over here.

Are there actually others from NS on here? I had kinda assumed this com was bulk made with the other provincial capitals.

We're pretty small both NS and lemmy so I kinda assumed I was the only one
