In addition to moderating, I think the biggest help would be to participate in the smaller communities. Regular posts and discussions go a long way
Just saw the new MapleMusic community, subscribed :)

Sorry about that, I'm thinking next time we'll end the nominations much earlier and leave the voting up longer.
Since lemmy.ca is federated, you can see content from everywhere. However you also have a lot of control over your feed, and you can either block communities you don't like or (my preference) primarily use the 'subscribed' feed and only subscribe to the content you want to see.
This guide page might help: https://fedecan.ca/en/guide/lemmy/for-users/detailed-overview
If you look on !canada@lemmy.ca, we maintain a pinned post with a list of Canadian communities to subscribe to
This might be the wrong community for this?
For sure!
For now I can say that all your songs got points, and I think one of yours was in 4th place :)
They're from Niagara Falls Ontario!
Isabelle Rezazadeh (born 28 March 1995), who is known by her stage name Rezz (stylized in all caps), is a Ukrainian–Canadian DJ and record producer from Niagara Falls, Ontario.
Hopefully there is a little bit of water in those balloons, being near fire and all
and thank you for organizing the event 😊
Nice, I like it :)
Thank you to everyone that nominated songs, discussed the options, and voted in the survey! Sometime in the future, we will post a detailed breakdown on all the songs and how people voted.
If you want to listen to the winning songs, you can find them below:

As a note for transparency, two songs tied for first place in the English category. However, when looking at the individual survey results, at least one of the submissions seemed to be a duplicate. If we took that into account when calculating the results, we got a clear winner for the English category and no change in the relative scores for the French category.
You could add a word or phrase to remind people that it's being given away for free to anyone that wants to run it. That might get people to think about any benefit they are getting out of it, and how much they want to donate in response.
I'm not sure what is the best wording for that, but just be careful in case someone misunderstands and thinks it might become paid someday. I've seen that complaint in the past
For example, this could be misinterpreted:
and if you want to keep using it for free
You can also add a note about the frequency of the messages. Saying that you will only remind people once a year is nice to hear, and that way people won't dismiss it thinking they will do it when they are reminded the next time
Last year we had a few submissions and not much interest in voting. This year we had many submissions and an active voting thread.
I think you'll find similar patterns over time :)

Strengthening the paediatric clinical trial ecosystem to better inform policy and programmes (see post body for some figures)
(www.thelancet.com)
Excerpt of the summary:
Childhood diseases have profound lifelong effects on health, livelihoods, and societies. Investment in early childhood results in highly cost-effective changes to lifelong health, productivity, and human capital returns. Yet, there remain substantial gaps in knowledge on the efficacy and safety of many paediatric interventions, which represents a failure to establish shared priorities and alignment across governments, researchers, communities, and funders. Children are frequently marginalised from clinical trials, which is an issue of equity. Challenges include mismatched priorities and funding, risk adversity, poor design, power imbalances, and inadequate infrastructure.
Some graphs:

For those unfamiliar, please see this post: https://lemmy.ca/post/40262691
