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!

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!

Can I pay you in maple syrup?

California would be .ca.us but nearly no one uses .us addresses, a few states point their .us domain at their .com domain

It could be both if you joined us

Would they join Canada, or we we join them? Does it even matter?!

r/sellcalifornia

!sellcalifornia

I’ve known this for almost as long as I’ve been on lemmy… but I still read it as lemmy California at first.

Lemmy is love. Welcome everyone :)

Oh Canada, we must come together to protect our country from the insane monsters south of our border.

The insane monsters in canada too. Cough pp Cough danielle Smith Cough cough

It’s, “O Canada,” which means something very different than, “Oh, Canada.”

You’re probably just accustomed to the French, “Ô Canada!”

What? But O and Oh sound the same either way. Hmm.

Do we? Because this feels to me like a ruling class problem. Labour class is a lot less affected, and our efforts are mostly helping the exact same set of oligarchs who are working both sides of the border.

I’m not on lemmy.ca but as a moose I appreciate this post and my fellow Canadians 🇨🇦🫎

Is there a problem using an email alias to sign up? I applied more than a week ago. I recognize it’s a lot of work but I was wondering if I had been accidentally been binned as a bot.

Well except for Lemmy.ml. You must be thinking about Lemmy.cafe.

Oh I double checked and you don’t, but I saw enterprise.lemmy.ml and voyager.lemmy.ml sub domains and assumed the main lemmy.ml was as well lol

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.

Its a great time to join. I think many of us have been lurkers in reddit and now with the tides of change we need to also make Lemmy active, especially the Canadian sites

Good day, eh!

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.

Please. That’s one of the few reasons I go to Reddit, getting some of that maple memes.
