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.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Added it to both

Love the banner and icon :)

[-] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

Thank you! added

[-] tjernobyl@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

/c/ThunderBay exists, but doesn't have much activity yet.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

thank you! Added

[-] dankm@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

[-] GrackleBirb@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

!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.

https://lemmy.ca/c/Amuletta

How can I fix it? Do I need to blow it away and start again?

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

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.

[-] Amuletta@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Thanks, I guess I'll try again.

[-] silvermoon82@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

!kingston_ontario@lemmy.ca exists but is super quiet still.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Thanks, it's been added to both spots!

!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).

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you! Added all three to the post and the sidebar.

I'll also keep a look out for the other teams if they should pop up :)

[-] SRGray@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

If I see any, I'll be sure to let you know!

[-] leftwingmememachine@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Would love if you could add !ndp@lemmy.ca, and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Thank you, updated!

!oceanside_bc@lemmy.ca East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

thank you, it should be added now :)

[-] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

Thanks! I added it under Toronto in the Cities / Local Communities section

[-] Policeshootout@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

!kootenays@lemmy.ca (BC) is not growing much but could be added?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar

[-] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

!vancouverisland@lemmy.ca

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

Thank you, it's been added to both!

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago

May I request that !fairvote@lemmy.ca be added under the politics section?

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

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 8 months ago

Added as well!

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

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Hahaha that's perfect

[-] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Hey does /c/bieres_quebec count?

[-] corminsterfullerene@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

please add !comoxvalley@lemmy.ca (BC)

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 8 months ago

Thanks! It has been added

[-] GrizzlyBur@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

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/Burnaby

https://lemmy.ca/c/Anmore

https://lemmy.ca/c/Squamish

https://lemmy.ca/c/Whistler

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.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago

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!

[-] slykethephoxenix@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 months ago

Hi Slyke,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! The team has been extra busy these past few days. We did receive the message and we should have acknowledged it sooner.

Someone should hopefully review is soon and get back to you!
