I’m a stay-at-home father of two young boys in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. My interests include Canadian Soccer, gardening, transit, and environmentalism.

!greater_sudbury@lemmy.ca is actually the 2nd or 3rd oldest city-based community on lemmy.ca . It’s not very active, but should definitely be added to this list.
Also, !canadasoccer@lemmy.ca would be a good community to add to the soccer category.
For team-specific Canadian-based soccer teams, there’s !torontofc@lemmy.ca of the MLS (US-league with 3 Canadian-based teams). Other MLS sides include Vancouver Whitecaps and CF Montreal, which I don’t think have a community created.
None of the 8 Canadian Premier League teams, nor any of the numerous League1 Canada sides have taken steps to establish their communities yet (as far as I know).
Peertube is the Fediverse equivalent. It needs more content, and more instances to host said content, but it’s a good start.
Absolutely create them, but more importantly post to them & where possible, post about them. People often hold back from posting if a community seems vacant, so its important to add new stuff regularly to your community.
If I see any, I’ll be sure to let you know!
