Users coming here from reddit might know that the main canada subreddit and offshoots such as metacanada and canada_sub are havens for the far-right. I’m concerned that as Lemmy.ca is growing, a small number of far-right posters might be able to influence the culture that Lemmy.ca develops....

Wow, we have doubled in size in around a week! Next week should be interesting!...
Is there a list of blocked instances somewhere? I was trying to interact with a thread from lemmygrad i found on lemmy.ml but could not get it to come up in search. This makes me assume its blocked

i’m planning on upgrading lemmy.ca to v0.17.0 on friday evening (Feb 3, 2023), probably starting around 9pm CST....
