Welcome to Maple Music, a community on the Lemmy.ca instance focused on bringing attention to Canadian music and musicians!
Like everything else, Canada has a rich music culture, spanning from the traditional music of the First Nations to a unique spot in the Punjabi music scene, a rich variety of folk performers to the big names in pop, and established underground music cultures such as the Edmonton hiphop and rap scene to the metal scene in the Atlantic provinces.
This community allows for postings of Canadian music news, covering anything from the local scene to world-renowned names such as Justin Bieber, Shawn Mendes, and Celine Dion. It also allows for sharing Canadian musicians you wish to give a spotlight to, individual songs and albums by Canadian artists you enjoy, and even a bit of Canadian music history seeing how poorly documented some Canadian music history can be at times.
As with any community, here are some rules to follow when engaging with this Lemmy community:
-
All rules of the host instance (Lemmy.ca) are to be followed at all times.
-
Posts should follow the following format: “Musician - Title [Genre] (Year) (track length, optional)”
-
No shaming of music tastes. Mumble rap is not for everyone, and neither is country or dubstep. Avoid all “real music” type comments. Refrain from downvoting music that is not your taste, everyone should feel welcome regardless of the genre you enjoy.
-
Do not encourage music piracy. Much of the musicians and music shared here are likely small independent acts that deserve fiscal support. If money is an issue, please look into free and/or Creative Commons releases, a list of such titles will be made and built on as the community grows.
-
All posts must be related to the Canadian music scene to some extent. News about Taylor Swift will be removed. News about Taylor Swift having a Canadian tour will be kept.
-
Please avoid spam. Rather than make individual posts for each song by a musician you like, instead make a singular post bringing attention to the musician.
-
AI music posts will be deleted. This community is made to support Canadian talent, not those who mooch off the talent of others for personal gain.

Lemmy.ca
Welcome 🍁
Lemmy.ca is run by Canadians, hosted in Canada, and geared toward Canadians. However, it is not restricted to Canadians, or Canadian culture/topics/etc. All are welcome!
To learn more about what Lemmy is, or how the Fediverse works, you can visit our simple Getting Started Guide.
This site is run by the non-profit Fedecan and funded entirely by user donations. You can help support us by visiting our donations page.
Rules and Guidelines
1. No Bigotry
Including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia.
2. Be Civil
Argue in good faith, attack the argument; not the person, and promote a healthy debate. That includes implying violence, threats or wishes of violence and/or death.
3. No Porn
This instance is not made to host porn communities. You’re free to access porn communities on other instances through your account, but be mindful of Rule 4.
4. Use the NSFW tag
Use your common sense: if you wouldn’t want this image to show up on your work computer, tag it as such. In comments, use the ::: tag for NSFW images, and put a NSFW mention beside links. Do not use NSFW images as your avatar or banner.
5. No Ads / Spam
This instance is not there to act as your billboard. If you want to promote your personal work, at least make the effort to be a contributing member of this community. Your account purpose shouldn’t be to only advertise, make it natural.
6. Bot account
If you are the operator of a “bot” account, make sure to flag is as such in the account’s settings.
7. Right to privacy
Do NOT distribute the personal information of someone else without their consent (aka doxxing). Information that is public domain can be shared, provided it is in good faith.
ex: The official email of an elected official is fair, the private phone number or the real name of a non-public person is NOT.
8. Report abuse
The report function isn’t labelled the disagree button. You might not agree with someone, but that doesn’t mean what the person says is against the rules. Using it repeately in this fashion will lead to actions being taken against the reporter.
9. Impersonation
Don’t make an account with the intent to negatively deceive or defame someone on the fediverse.
ex: Parody of a famous person is okay, submitting outrageous content as appearing like another user, mod or admin isn’t.
