Organized List of Canadian Communities
-
!CanadianSkincare@lemmy.ca is another community that is becoming more active
Thanks! I’ve added it to both lists under ‘
Finance, Shopping, Sales’ -
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.
!kingston_ontario@lemmy.ca exists but is super quiet still.

Thanks, I’ve added them all
If you want an example of a call for mods, here’s one I posted from a while back: https://lemmy.ca/post/31769390
I love the photos you chose for each community. Looking forward to seeing them grow!
Hey Otter, is the admin DM checked here? I sent a DM to there asking about taking over a specific community here that has an inactive mod and also inviting users from various Canadian Reddit subs to use this Lemmy, but it’s been like 2 or so weeks and no reply. No rush, or being pushy for a yes or anything, just want to know if it’s been received.

Hi Slyke,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! The team has been extra busy these past few days. We did receive the message and we should have acknowledged it sooner.
Someone should hopefully review is soon and get back to you!

I tried to start a community called Assorted Crafts, but for some reason the url shows up with my user name instead of the community name.
Assorted Crafts - Lemmy.ca
Sewing, knitting, pottery, weaving, jewelry making, or whatever you like to work on. Crochet and woodworking are covered, so this is for other other crafty projects. No copied images please, show your own work.
(lemmy.ca)
How can I fix it? Do I need to blow it away and start again?

Ah, I can see how the ‘name’ field can be misinterpreted. That was supposed to be the short name of the community, and it will appear in the URL. Unfortunately, that field can’t be changed after the community as been created. Even if we mess with the database on lemmy.ca, it might show up incorrectly elsewhere.
Since the community is just starting out, the easiest would be to make a new one with the name that you want.
There are also a few other communities that you might enjoy:
It’s totally up to you if you want to post in those or if you want to build your own community. If you want to build your own, you can also cross post to / from these communities to help it grow.
