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.
No shaming of music tastes. Mumble rap is not for everyone, and neither is country or dubstep. Avoid all “real music” type comments.
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.
