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.

–

Please post albums using odesli.co! It’s essentially link tree but for music. This allows people to listen to the song on whichever platform they prefer, assuming that it is available there. This is not strictly required, but is the most ideal way to share music.

Community Rules and Guidelines:

Follow Site-wide rules: We are all guests in lemmy.ca’s house. The house has rules that we must follow. We are polite guests.
Formatting: Song and Album posts should follow the this format: “Musician - Title [Genre] (Year) (track length)”. Genre, Year, and track length are not required but encouraged. Posts regarding news articles must include the article title in the post’s title. Otherwise, make titles relevant to what you are trying to talk about.
On Topic Posts only: All posts must be related to the Canadian music scene to some extent. For example: News about Taylor Swift will be removed. News about Taylor Swift having a Canadian tour will be kept.
French & English Equal: French and English content, posts, and comments are equally welcomed and encouraged.
Self-Made Music Welcomed: Are you Canadian and artistically talented? Feel free to post it here! Please do limit excessive self promotion however.

The No Rules:

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.
No 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.
No Spam: 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. This applies for self-promotion posts as well.
No AI Generated content: AI music posts will be deleted. This community is made to support Canadian talent. An AI cannot be Canadian, nor can it generate truly original content without infringing on countless other artist’s copyrights.
No doing stuff that makes me need to make more rules: Moderation reserves the right to take action on anything seen as detrimental to the community. Just cause I didn’t write it down here doesn’t mean it is necessarily allowed.

Rules are subject to change as the community grows.
