Title says it all!? I'm a reddit refuge and picked this instance because it's A) Canadian (I'm in MN, so consider myself an honorary Canadian), and B) The clean energy thing.

Applied to Beehaw but never heard back. Dittos on Lemmy.ML!

So hoping this is going to be a great "home" away from Reddit for the foreseeable future.

Cheers, and well done on the instance, admins!

Easy to remember url, haven’t had a single issue with acces or content. Not Canadian but I appreciate the general vibe of the people from the country that I’ve interacted and worked with. Great experience so far!

I joined because the rego page for lemmy.world wouldn't work, overloaded?

I liked the domain. It makes me smile.

Been here since almost the first day the server opened up: what makes this place different is our ruleset, admin and users.

Ruleset: Very simple and basic. @TheDude doesn't want to over-moderate, as far as I can tell. No need to tone-police or clamp down on what people can/can't say, as long as it's respectful. I really like that approach.

The admin: From his posts and the sheer rock-solid stability of this server and laid-back attitude, the dude abides. I know I'm not the only one who joined because of this post. Networking experts, server admins, devops guys, if they're anything like me, they look at that and think "Yup, this is where I wanna be".

Users: Early days yet, but so far the people here have been very laid-back, very nice, and helpful. Been trying to get all the newbies situated myself whenever I spot questions I can answer :) I'm hoping we can maintain this culture going forward.

I'm not a user on this instance, but from what I can tell, shit just kinda works over here.

As an anglophone in QC, i was drawn to the openness to embracing the french language

Great domain, site is responsive (after I tried couple others)

Also a Reddit refuge. Just deleted a 6 year old account and all its content. It was a bit bittersweet but alas, it was time to move on with all that's happened. Also applied to Beehaw and Lemmy.ml but can imagine it might be a bit swamped as didn't hear back, so here I am. Glad to be here.

I like Canada even if I'm not from it. Plus it seems like a nice quiet place to call a Lemmy home and figure this whole thing out without being overwhelmed. Like, peer into the All and go "whoa man" then just hit Local and chill for a bit.

The description said english AND french so I hoped to discuss some french shit but as far as I can tell there is no french discussion, for now.

Edit : J'ai créé ça pour ceux que ça intéresse : https://sh.itjust.works/c/francophone. On verra si ça décolle mais mon but ne sera pas de le modder à terme.

[–] kaki@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Same. Maybe we should create some French-speaking communities?
