Hey, #admins!
Along with a grad student, I am working on a paper the surveys Mastodon (and forks -- Hometown, Glitch) servers that have some connection to #Canada.
We have done a lot of digging and have found ~40 instances that have some connection to Canada. We presented our work recently:

But! Maybe we're missing some. If you are willing to share, please let me know if your Mastodon/fork instance meets this criteria.
Boosts appreciated!

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

@Bwacton Social.bc is definitely on our list!
We are excluding "instances of one" from our survey. We're interested in:
* Canada-wide instances (e.g., mstdn.ca). We are pretty certain we have found all these, but you never know.
* Regional instances (e.g., socialbc.ca)
* 'special interest' instances with some explicit connection to Canada. So maybe the description notes it's located in Canada, or the admin is Canadian. This is a trickier category, obviously. -

@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.

@bookandswordblog sure!
We also have developed a categorization scheme that might be useful for mastodonserver.ca.

@bookandswordblog Indeed! That was my home instance for a long time -- we included it.

rwg@aoir.social limited to Mastodon and forks only?
Pixelfed dev is from Canada, as are the NodeBB guys (aka me).

@julian Yes, only to keep things focused. We figure after we develop a categorization scheme for Mastodon, we could repeat it for other systems.
Indeed, in doing this I've come across a bunch of new Ghost instances with explicit ties to Canada.
