Don't forget !Curling@lemmy.ca!

edit: whoops, I did not realize how old this post was. Thank you @Shadow@lemmy.ca for bumping it in my active feed

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 1 points 12 hours ago

No problem! The thread is still active, it just takes me a bit of time to update with new suggestions since I like to update it everywhere at once.

I've added curling to this post, the sidebar, and under the sports topic on Piefed.ca

Eventually once the Lemmy software implements compatible topic lists, I might retire this post so that the community can keep it all up to date :)

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 :)

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

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

!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!

Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar

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

Thank you, it's been added to both!

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

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

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

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

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

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

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

!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 :)

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 year 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 1 year ago

Hahaha that's perfect

There's a French Canadian community as well:

Canada_Francais

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

Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section

[-] corminsterfullerene@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago
[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

Thanks! It has been added

[-] GrizzlyBur@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 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.
