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

!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).

Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent. It needs more content, and more instances to host said content, but it’s a good start.

Good stuff. I love how it’s grown and look forward to seeing more voices discuss the issues that arise.

I’m working on growing !greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca myself, and have tried to limit to 1 or 2 posts per day, just to keep them coming and leave openings for other locals to step in, but without the same kind of response.

Perhaps I’m the one that needs to take on a more aggressive seeding technique…

@gtre@lemmy.ca

I don’t have an issue (I was replying to the previous post), especially as I do see value in seeding a community with posts. An empty community is a dead community.

However, it may be of more benefit to spread them out. After all, this is all federated. So anyone following the community from elsewhere (my prior reply was from a Mastodon account), they will receive a big wall of posts from this community all at once, but if they were to log in later in the day, they would see nothing (as it all posted earlier).

It would also allow other people to post something themselves and start a conversation in the post, as opposed to just an unexamined link.

Some might also see it as an attempt at spamming or karma farming (even though that no longer translates). Perhaps those thoughts may be something to consider.

Sounds good. Keep up the good work!

They’re just over 2.7k right now, probably be over 3k by end of day.

I wouldn’t expect our 1.1k to balloon nearly as quickly, but it will be nice to snag more Canadians from the reddit-exodus.

I included wrestling because it always seems like they’re hitting each other in their sportsballs whenever I bother to tune in. ;)

In addition to those already listed, there’s also the following:

For soccer/football:

!soccer@lemmy.ml

!canadasoccer@lemmy.ca

Hockey:

!hockey@lemmy.ca

Baseball:

!torontobluejays@lemmy.ca

Wrestling:

!wrestling@sopuli.xyz

I like it. Straight and to the point, with the options you need quickly.

I’m curious; what’s the purpose of the waterboarding & purse buttons?

Should also note to do this from the web, not the lemmur or jerboa app. The app search functions don’t tend to pick up newer communities for quite some time if your home instance isn’t already linked with them (ie if no one on lemmy.ca is following and interacting with a community on lemmy.world)

Confirming same issue from lemmy.ca

I found this one, but wanted to connect the new !homeassistant@lemmy.world community and am unable to discover. Might be a federation issue?

Edit: Was able to join. As suspected, not fully federated out yet. To solve: users not on lemmy.world need to use their instance’s website (not via an app) and search directly for !homeassistant@lemmy.world and click into the community & subscribe. Once done, it will begin to propogate to your instance as well, helping spread it to others that may be interested.

Absolutely create them, but more importantly post to them & where possible, post about them. People often hold back from posting if a community seems vacant, so its important to add new stuff regularly to your community.

.ml = Marxist-Leninist

It’s a pretty far left default instance with minimal/no moderation. It also federated directly with lemmygrad.ml which is constantly spewing pro-Putin conspiracy theories.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m fairly leftist myself, but it’s pretty strongly biased, even for me.

I’m definitely not feeling too surprised at his victory, although I had hoped it would go another way (just about any other way).

Given his prior activities & promises, I weep for the damage he’s going to do for the environment and am definitely fighting a bout of doomerism at the thought of 4 more years.

We’ll just have to dig in and work toward changing things for next time.

Awesome. Good to see the federation with Peertube. One step closer.

Wow, that is incredibly stupid. The City of Regina really needs an update…

Each city has its own bylaws, so it varies quite a bit from one place to another. Some cities have had officers promote the use of hoverboards and the like, while others are very militant.

Best give them a call. Here’s the info I found in a quick search via DuckDuckGo: https://www.dnb.com/business-directory/company-profiles.sask_ltd.dfdadb82f4d8f

I have two small kids. I break the spaghetti like this so I don’t have to cut up their plates or clean sauce off the ceiling, again…

It works and it makes it easier to portion on plates & prevent my spouse & I from overheating.

In a couple years, when my kids are bigger, hopefully I can return to cooking without snapping…

Thanks for the hard work @smorks@lemmy.ca !
