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

Hi! Your app is great. I’ve tried a lot of different ones but yours is my favourite.
As per moving to Canada, I’m sure if you applied at some Canadian tech companies you could get a work visa. Alternatively you could move up north, where there’s a lot of job opportunities and you’re more likely to get permanent residency (but it’s very cold up there tho, Winter averages of below -30C in some places, so prepare yourself). If you’re going for citizenship then things will be a lot easier if you learn to speak French.
