They must be those cool folks from r/onguardforthee and r/fredericton! Lets get off those american Reddit servers eh!
Update: there’s a thread on r/buycanadian with 93 upvotes, promoting the platform! Open the floodgates baby!
Doing my part!
Hi! If you need reliable canadian hosting for lemmy.ca let me know. I am a co-founder of a Canadian Cloud and I will be happy to provide the infra for free. We are happy to help canada going out of American Corporation. If you are interested, let me know!
Let's talk =)
Let the collaborations begin ;)
Let us know if you get this setup!
Can I pay you in maple syrup?
That's almost more stable than the canadian dollars these days, I might consider ;)
Supplied from beautiful Quebec!
It's is a bit embarrassing to admit, but this is the first time I've cried during our national anthem.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!
I think I found Lemmy from r/EhBuddyHoser, sweet find!
May I ask which post has lead you here?
I think I saw a link in ehbuddyhoser. Still haven’t completely figured out Lemmy but Reddit is full of bots
Update: we just hit 9.2k! Keep up the surge folks! Keep Shadow busy tonight!
former r/onguardforthee fan here ... I've been on Lemmy.ca now for over a year ... happy to see others are hopping on board and jumping off the burning train wreck
ADDITION TO MY ORIGINAL .... one thing we current users of Lemmy should point out to any new users that are joining Lemmy either here at Lemmy.ca or any other fediverse instance is to REMIND EVERYONE TO DONATE TO AND SUPPORT THE INSTANCE THEY ARE ON. It's great that all this stuff is free for us to use but there are people here who work to develop, maintain and upgrade the source software and there are groups of people who maintain and manage the instances that we all use. We can't expect all these people to work for free. Many of them may not mind working for free and they might even enjoy it but there will come times when they either can't do it any more or they just run out of money, resources and time and energy to manage things as they grow more and more popular. No one complains when things are working but everyone will scream and shout as soon as their instance fails for one reason or another. Everyone or as many people as possible should find a bit of money to support their instance or the developers. Even if everyone gave a dollar, that would add up to thousands. If we keep these instances and the people that work and maintain all this well funded then we can all be safe and secure from any corporate rot that might creep into our communities.
There's some Facebook 'buy Canadian' groups with over half a million people in - this server occasionally comes up there too when people are looking for Canadian hosted discussion sites to ditch big American tech like reddit or Facebook groups.
Thank you for informing me as that brings a smile to my face.
A Facebook exodus! 
Canadian Friendica will be here soon!
Congrats. Canada needs to build its own social media infrastructure.
They should also build a wall so our stupid stays south of their sovereign border.
Nope, here for a break from the drama on r/ehbuddyhoser.
Should probably find a place to cross post some of their memes here now that I think of it. The Bay of Nova Scotia was gold.
Making c/ehbuddyhoser is an option
What caused it?
I heard Reddit was going to charge subscriptions for subreddits.
Also they banned a bunch of porn and lgbt subs.
Wait is there any validity to that first one?
I know the second one happened for like a day and they tried to say ‘Just a bug!’ thinking no one would see past their totally brilliant cover-up.
That first one would be huge. Maybe a hammer for all the nails they been gathering to their coffin!
In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.
