As a new mod of c/Alberta, the community for the province is much larger on Lemmy.ca.

However, that's also simply because people are more likely to subscribe with how much more focused the instance is on Canada, so it's a given more people will join it.

Honestly, so far, while I've been trying to get the Alberta community here up and running, I have no issue with the one on Lemmy.ca existing. If anything, I hope that the communities can co-exist because perhaps it'll become the case where certain instances will develop their own cultures in the same way some Peertube instances do. We even have the Lemmy.ca communities relating to the province in the community sidebar to encourage people to take advantage of the federated nature of Lemmy.
