!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).

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!

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

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 :)

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 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months 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 11 months ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

[-] Luci@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It's really just me and @CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works posting articles from local news....

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 5 months ago

Thank you! The community looks good :)

I've gone through and updated the post/sidebar + added the community

[-] 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!

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

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

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

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

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

Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar

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

!vancouverisland@lemmy.ca

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

Thank you, it's been added to both!

[-] Beaver@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago

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

[-] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

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

Hahaha that's perfect

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

Hey does /c/bieres_quebec count?

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

Added!

[-] rainman_104@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

There's a French Canadian community as well:

Canada_Francais

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

Thanks! Added it to the social/culture section

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

please add !comoxvalley@lemmy.ca (BC)

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

Thanks! It has been added

[-] GrizzlyBur@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks 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.

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

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!

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

I went ahead and made a Windsor community! Windsor is the city I was born in and I grew up in Essex County, so I felt a little left out not being on this list. While the community is named for Windsor, I figured it'd make sense to welcome content from all over Essex county instead of making community bloat for every town in the county.

/c/Windsor or !Windsor@lemmy.ca
