Welcome to Maple Music, a community on the piefed.ca instance focused on bringing attention to Canadian music and musicians!

Bienvenue sur Maple Music, une communauté sur l'instance piefed.ca axée sur la musique et les musiciens canadiens.

Canada has a rich music culture as diverse as the country itself! From the traditional music of the First Nations to the Punjabi music scene, a rich variety of folk performers to the big names in pop, and established underground music cultures such as the Edmonton hiphop and rap scene to the metal scene in the maritimes. Canada has music for everyone!

This is the community for all things music and Canadian! Post your favourite Canadian songs/albums, make a post about an upcoming concert, share an article about a recent event, share some niche music history/trivia, or just make a general discussion post. So long as it is related to music in Canada, it can be posted here.

Community Rules and Guidelines:

1. On Topic Posts only: All posts must be about Canadian music or music IN Canada. For example: News about Taylor Swift will be removed. News about Taylor Swift having a Canadian tour will be kept.

2. Post Formatting: Song and Album posts must include the creator and title of the work. Posts must be properly flaired. Moderation reserves the right to modify post flairs if unflaired, or egregiously misflaired.

3. French & English Equal: French and English content, posts, and comments are equally welcomed and encouraged. This is a fully bilingual community -- frankly, any language is welcomed here.

4. Follow Site-wide rules: We are all guests in piefed.ca's house. The house has rules that we must follow. We are polite guests. :pie:

The No Rules:

5. No shaming of music tastes: Comments impolitely insulting someone's taste in music will be removed. All music is real music. Everyone is welcome regardless of the genre you enjoy.

6. No music piracy. The musicians featured here deserve your fiscal support. Support them as you can. Discussions on how to pirate music will be removed.

7. No Spam or excessive self promotion: Please avoid spam. Rather than make individual posts for each song by a musician you like, instead make a singular post bringing attention to the musician. This applies for self-promotion posts as well -- limit self-promotion to at most once a week.

8. No AI Generated content: AI music posts will be deleted. This community is made to support Canadian talent. An AI cannot be Canadian, nor can it generate truly original content without infringing on countless other artist's copyrights.

9. No doing stuff that makes me need to make more rules: Moderation reserves the right to take action on anything seen as detrimental to the community. Just cause I didn't write it down here doesn't mean it is necessarily allowed.

Rules are subject to change as the community grows.
