Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
I don't have any fancy graphs to show the community's growth, but I thought it was worth noting this milestone. The largest individual community on lemmy.ca and the largest national community on lemmy as a whole that I can see. Discuss.

I'm one of the reddit refugees. To be honest I didn't think the protest would make it very far, although I was hoping it would. It looks like reddit got a black eye out of it but that's about it... nothing substantial.
That is fine by me. I was considering killing my two 10yr old+ accounts there anyway, and in the process I found this place, which I quite like to be honest. It's a little janky and rough around the edges to be sure, but any of you that remember how reddit was back in the day know it was the same thing at one point. Lemmy has serious potential to become great, lots of work needs to be done but it looks like a lot of talent is already here to fullfill that potential. Growth is great, but if things grow too fast problems do too.
I look forward to seeing the true potential of what Lemmy can become, and I hope I can be useful in some way to help that happen and be part of it.
The communities that exist on Reddit just need a place to congregate, and Lemmy seems to fit the bill. There are still a lot of scuff features but the plumbing is in place to be entirely decentralized and look to be working. I am very interested to see what content / biases get promoted in /c/Canada now that there is minimal corporate interference.
