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.
!nanaimo@lemmy.ca is another city community.
Thanks! Added it to both
Love the banner and icon :)
There's a fairly inactive community for Saskatoon: !saskatoon@lemmy.ca
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: !regina@lemmy.ca
Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar
We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but !torontoraptors@lemmy.ca is trying to get traction.
Thank you! added
/c/ThunderBay exists, but doesn't have much activity yet.
thank you! Added
!CanadianSkincare@lemmy.ca is another community that is becoming more active
I tried to start a community called Assorted Crafts, but for some reason the url shows up with my user name instead of the community name.
How can I fix it? Do I need to blow it away and start again?
Ah, I can see how the 'name' field can be misinterpreted. That was supposed to be the short name of the community, and it will appear in the URL. Unfortunately, that field can't be changed after the community as been created. Even if we mess with the database on lemmy.ca, it might show up incorrectly elsewhere.
Since the community is just starting out, the easiest would be to make a new one with the name that you want.
There are also a few other communities that you might enjoy:
It's totally up to you if you want to post in those or if you want to build your own community. If you want to build your own, you can also cross post to / from these communities to help it grow.
Thanks, I guess I'll try again.
/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It's really just me and @CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works posting articles from local news....
Thank you! The community looks good :)
I've gone through and updated the post/sidebar + added the community
!greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca 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, !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca would be a good community to add to the soccer category.
For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there's !torontofc@lemmy.ca 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).
Would love if you could add !ndp@lemmy.ca, and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?
Thank you, updated!
Cheers!
There is also /c/TorontoCycling
Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section
!oceanside_bc@lemmy.ca East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay
thank you, it should be added now :)
May I request that !fairvote@lemmy.ca be added under the politics section?
Thanks! Both should be updated now :)
!kootenays@lemmy.ca (BC) is not growing much but could be added?
Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar
!vancouverisland@lemmy.ca
Thank you, it's been added to both!
There are two communities I would really like to see some traffic driven to:
!maplemusic@lemmy.ca - Celebrating Canadian music
!givergaming@lemmy.ca - Celebrating Canadian games, gamedevs and studios
I think these would be an easy add to the Canadian Social / Culture section.
Hey, I added Burnaby, Anmore, Squamish, Whistler, Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake.
https://lemmy.ca/c/NiagaraFalls
https://lemmy.ca/c/NiagaraOnTheLake
Will moderate them, but looking for new mods who might live in these areas. I've lived either in or near them. And still visit.
Thanks, I've added them all
If you want an example of a call for mods, here's one I posted from a while back: https://lemmy.ca/post/31769390
I love the photos you chose for each community. Looking forward to seeing them grow!
Hey Otter, is the admin DM checked here? I sent a DM to there asking about taking over a specific community here that has an inactive mod and also inviting users from various Canadian Reddit subs to use this Lemmy, but it's been like 2 or so weeks and no reply. No rush, or being pushy for a yes or anything, just want to know if it's been received.
