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 (1 children)

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

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

thank you! Added

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 9 months ago

Thanks! Both have been added to the post & sidebar

[–] Luci@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

/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 4 months ago

Thank you! The community looks good :)

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

[–] SRGray@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

!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 (1 children)

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 2 points 10 months ago

Thanks! It has been added to both post and sidebar

[–] CowsLookLikeMaps@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

There is also /c/TorontoCycling

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

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

[–] Beaver@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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

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

Thanks! Both should be updated now :)

[–] LimpRimble@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

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

thank you, it should be added now :)

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

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

Thank you, updated!

There's a French Canadian community as well:

Canada_Francais

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 weeks ago (1 children)

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 weeks ago

Hahaha that's perfect

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

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

Thank you for making that, and sorry for the delay. It's been updated in the post and sidebar now!
