[email protected] 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, [email protected] would be a good community to add to the soccer category.

For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there's [email protected] 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 :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (5 children)

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.

We’re deep in the summer NBA doldrums but [email protected] is trying to get traction.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thank you! added

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[email protected] is another city community.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Added it to both

Love the banner and icon :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

thank you! Added

There's a fairly inactive community for Saskatoon: [email protected]

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: [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

/c/Guelph exists. We try to keep it active. It's really just me and @[email protected] posting articles from local news....

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Thank you! The community looks good :)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Would love if you could add [email protected], and perhaps combine it with canadapolitics under a "politics" category?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you, updated!

At least in the browser, adding an exclamation mark redirects you to the community. Without the exclamation mark my phone thinks its an email address.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yep, that's what happens in my web browser as well. I get a mailto: link when I click on that

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

May I request that [email protected] be added under the politics section?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

!oceanside_[email protected] East Vancouver Island - Nanoose Bay to Fanny Bay

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

thank you, it should be added now :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Another good town on Lemmy!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

[email protected] (BC) is not growing much but could be added?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you, it's been added to both!

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I have recently created two first nations based communities on Lemmy.ca as requested from the 2023 instance census. Please add [email protected] & [email protected] to the community list.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! I've renamed the last section and added the new communities there

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I also made !inuit and !indigenous communities. Gotta cover everyone :)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry for the delay, it's been updated!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

For sure! Sorry for the delay, I wanted to sit down at a computer to make the changes properly and check over all the links, and then kept procrastinating.

They should be updated now, thank you for making those!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Thank you Otter! A lot of things work nicely doing on the computer.

We got 13 political parties in BC and 18 In Canada. 15% and 16% are respectively covered on Lemmy.

So hopefully more join the list so that more people can receive their messaging on the Fediverse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Be sure to add [email protected]

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Thank you! It has been added to the post and the sidebar

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Awesome good to have more spaces on Lemmy <3
