Tbh if someone else has taken over that is way more optimal because this would be my first time but I miss that sub and im sad to see it closed here
Ideally if it were opened to me I would just immediately recruit a couple more people just to get it going but we need our canadian shitposting and memeing in canada back again :(
But I also can put it in writing that if I suck I will lock it again

Sure we can add you on there. I see there's another post with a pending request, did you want to work together on the community @Rat_in_a_hat@lemmy.ca ?
You can totally have the community and build it up, but for some context on why it isn't active currently:
From memory, the
r/onguardfortheemods set up the community here during the API migration, but did not have the capacity to keep it going alongside the subreddit. Since !canada@lemmy.ca covers much of the same content, and we don't have the history thatr/canadaandr/onguardfortheewent through, there hasn't been that much demand for that community. We also have some existing communities that fulfill the sub-niches, such as !ehbuddyhoser@sh.itjust.works for memes or communities like !ndp@lemmy.ca for political party specific content. You can see the sidebar in !canada@lemmy.ca for a list of those.You're welcome to take over the community and build it in a way that makes sense to you. If you wanted a connection to the subreddit (ex. sister communities), we might be able to put you in contact with the subreddit mods

I would actually love that and I do believe @Rat_in_a_hat@lemmy.ca is still interested and I would be more than happy to have them do it as well as they may have more experience
Thank you!! So what do we do next?

I have added both of your accounts as moderators to the community, and you should have access to the community settings now. :) Please feel free to reach out if you have any issues!
Also tagging @Rat_in_a_hat@lemmy.ca
I'll see about getting in contact with the subreddit mods sometime soon.
On an unrelated point, I love the usernames 😄
