Just wanted to thank everyone! With your help we found a handful of new instances we missed.

All told we're pretty confident there are 56 Mastodon instances with a strong connection to Canada. We think our method could easily be expanded to account for other software, too. Ghost and GoToSocial, for example, or older systems like PeerTube.

@rwg Yay https://thecanadian.social made the list!

@rwg Not sure if it meets your criteria, but - my instance isn’t hosted in Canada, but I’m the primary admin and I’m in Canada.

@rwg

I don't know if you considered shodan.io (for example mastodon by country) too fuzzy a stepping off point (I didn't see it in your sources), but I'd be curious about the Fediverse servers it found that fedimap missed which you found worthy of inclusion...

[requires a free account for search by country]

@rwg flipping.rocks might fall into the special interest with connection to canada category and I didn't see it listed. it's run by Nev who is located in canada and regularly posts pics of goth squirrels and things the rest of us elsewhere don't see on a regular basis

@rwg I liked the presentation. Maybe I missed the list of servers, so I apologize if I'm repeating... But do you have TechHub.social?

@rwg I went through your slide deck - I like it! Personally, I think the "servers of one" cadre of Canadians deserves some mention - and not because I want my dot on the map 😊 But rather, because we stand alongside our larger Canadian instance colleagues as full peers and partners in independence from mainstream foreign social media.

If nothing else, it's important to note and promote that community, in a fediverse context, can be as small as a neighborhood block, or even one house :)

@rwg@aoir.social limited to Mastodon and forks only?

Pixelfed dev is from Canada, as are the NodeBB guys (aka me).

@rwg FYI mastodonserver.ca was recently (last few weeks) adopted and revitalized by the admins of socialbc.ca Would be glad to see your list of servers before I make suggestions.

@rwg FYI @ingalls @technodad @ai6yr

@rwg hi have you contacted Socialbc? Do you want individuals servers with Canada?
