On Reddit, there used to be subreddits for universities that were very active. There doesn’t seem to be an alternative here.
Where’s UBC@lemmy.ca?
You could make it?
Each university’s community should probably be on different lemmy instances. I think it makes sense to have the canadian universities on lemmy.ca.
Exactly. This is the great thing about the fediverse. So glad to see the influx of users on here.
It might also be worth hosting a university instance
I have just created one for SFU: !sfu@lemmy.ca
A university instance may come eventually, but I have approximately zero expectation of that ever happening.
I’ve also contacted the mods of the Reddit community and invited them to moderate or take it over.
Also, there used to be another UBC community on a different instance, but that seems to have closed.
