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.

We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but !torontoraptors@lemmy.ca is trying to get traction.

There's a French Canadian community as well:

Canada_Francais

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks! It has been added

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.

Thanks! I've added them to the post and sidebar

MapleMusic has a recent post on !communitypromo@lemmy.ca, but !givergaming@lemmy.ca could doesn't so it could be good to post about it. Thanks for sharing them!

Oh there's also /c/QuebecLibre which is NOT about Québec separatism, but about free (as in LIBRE) open source software in Québec.

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Added as well!

I added both to the 🍁 Social / Culture section, and I listed this one as Logiciels libres au Québec

Hahaha that's perfect

!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).

Hello!

I have made the 2 political communities: Animal Protection Party of Canada and BC Greens for environmentalists and vegans to discuss important issues on the fediverse as I would like to encourage more growth on community owned social media ran by everyday canadians and to avoid the conflicts that may arise with corporate owned social media namely Facebook and Twitter interfering with campaigning that goes against their commercial interests.

May I request that !appc and !bcgreens be listed under !ndp under the politics section.

Please and Thank you <3
