Our Online Communities

  • Reddit Community (r/UBC)

    Link: https://reddit.com/r/UBC/

    This community on Reddit has grown to support over 90,000 users (as of 2024). These users include students, professors, staff, and other community members.

  • Lemmy Community (c/UBC)

    Link: https://lemmy.ca/c/ubc

    After Reddit made harmful changes in 2023, a backup community was created. This decentralized and open-source alternative, managed by a non-profit, will guarantee that the UBC community has a space to connect, share, and discuss.
