They must be those cool folks from r/onguardforthee and r/fredericton! Lets get off those american Reddit servers eh!
Update: there’s a thread on r/buycanadian with 93 upvotes, promoting the platform! Open the floodgates baby!
Hi! If you need reliable canadian hosting for lemmy.ca let me know. I am a co-founder of a Canadian Cloud and I will be happy to provide the infra for free. We are happy to help canada going out of American Corporation. If you are interested, let me know!
Let's talk =)
Let the collaborations begin ;)
Let us know if you get this setup!
Can I pay you in maple syrup?
That's almost more stable than the canadian dollars these days, I might consider ;)
Supplied from beautiful Quebec!
It's is a bit embarrassing to admit, but this is the first time I've cried during our national anthem.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
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.
I think I found Lemmy from r/EhBuddyHoser, sweet find!
May I ask which post has lead you here?
I think I saw a link in ehbuddyhoser. Still haven’t completely figured out Lemmy but Reddit is full of bots
Congrats. Canada needs to build its own social media infrastructure.
They should also build a wall so our stupid stays south of their sovereign border.
Update: we just hit 9.2k! Keep up the surge folks! Keep Shadow busy tonight!
former r/onguardforthee fan here ... I've been on Lemmy.ca now for over a year ... happy to see others are hopping on board and jumping off the burning train wreck
ADDITION TO MY ORIGINAL .... one thing we current users of Lemmy should point out to any new users that are joining Lemmy either here at Lemmy.ca or any other fediverse instance is to REMIND EVERYONE TO DONATE TO AND SUPPORT THE INSTANCE THEY ARE ON. It's great that all this stuff is free for us to use but there are people here who work to develop, maintain and upgrade the source software and there are groups of people who maintain and manage the instances that we all use. We can't expect all these people to work for free. Many of them may not mind working for free and they might even enjoy it but there will come times when they either can't do it any more or they just run out of money, resources and time and energy to manage things as they grow more and more popular. No one complains when things are working but everyone will scream and shout as soon as their instance fails for one reason or another. Everyone or as many people as possible should find a bit of money to support their instance or the developers. Even if everyone gave a dollar, that would add up to thousands. If we keep these instances and the people that work and maintain all this well funded then we can all be safe and secure from any corporate rot that might creep into our communities.
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.
Making c/ehbuddyhoser is an option
