It seems that a lot of new people have learned about these platforms from a popular post on Reddit. We currently see ~~78 notifications (and counting) and a pile of applications on piefed.ca~~ too many registration applications for me to keep this up to date.

I am pinning this thread on both platforms for new users to pop in to and ask questions. Please give them a warm welcome!

Please let us know how we can help! For example, here are some tips on finding communities: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/how-to-find-communities The guide says Lemmy, but the steps are the same on Piefed

Since a lot of people arrived here from r/BuyCanadian, maybe you will be interested in !buycanadian@lemmy.ca

You can use Mlem instead written in Swift.

Is Mlem Canadian?

[–] Sunshine@piefed.ca 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Sadly it’s American but it’s a good app.

Okay well thats better than nothing I guess. Blorp is also a good app that supports Piefed. Don't know which country it originates from though

Blorp dev here. I’m based out of US. But since I actually lose money on Blorp, I would argue you are kinda supporting Canada indirectly. If that’s not enough to convince you, I would consider moving to Canada if you’re accepting applications.
