I had to do a double take when I saw Lemmy.ca spiked to 9.1k registered users
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!
You're viewing a single thread.
Just joined to get away from Reddit - I’m pleasantly surprised with how active it seems here despite the much smaller community! This is exciting!
Welcome!
We like to party too!
Question for you: are pretty much all of the users Canadian or in Canada? Is it possible to tell?
Users that you see with an email-like suffix to their name are using different websites and are less likely to be Camadian (though, as you know/ we are everywhere). Users without the suffix (if your client omits local addressing) are on lemmy.ca and are much more likely to be Canadian.
though, as you know/ we are everywhere
True enough. I joined a British instance for reasons that seemed good enough to me at the time I signed up. I kind of pity any Canadian who decided to sign up with an American instance somewhere back in the depths of time, though—I don't think Trump will manage to put a tariff on electrons, but I wouldn't put it past him to try, and the last I checked, migration of accounts between servers in the Fediverse was still kind of half-baked.
You can join communities on other instances too if you have specific interests.
I would assume most users are Canadian as they would have more related interests here.
Hi, I use sh.itjust.works, another fantastic Canadian instance, and I'm British! Big love!
