[closed] 2023 Instance Census for lemmy.ca

EDIT: Census is now closed. I should hopefully have results out by mid January!

Link here: forms.gle/fGP8WiN7MpdVQwsu7

As an exciting year for the instance draws to a close, we would love to learn more about our growing community. We invite all users on lemmy.ca, including those visiting our communities, to fill out this census/feedback form!

Please select “(skip this question)” on any question that you do not want to answer. If you would like to submit your responses some other way, please reach out to @admin on Lemmy and we will see what we can do.

There are four sections:

  • Section 1: Location
  • Section 2: Demographics
  • Section 3: Instance Usage
  • Section 4: Feedback Form

The results will be aggregated, summarized, and posted on !main. The results will not be shared with anyone else for any purpose.

Please comment with any issues or questions. You might remember this from the earlier post: Would people be interested in having an instance census sometime?

The census will close on Jan 01 2024

When will the results be posted? I want to see the desserts :)

otter,

I should hopefully have something out by next week!

lemmybea,

Why is it on Google Forms? There are many self-hosted form-building services. Isn’t this the whole point of Lemmy? To avoid centralized services like Google Forms?

otter,

We discussed it briefly (some of which should be in the linked post). This seemed like the simple and familiar solution for our first run, where we had an option for people to reach out and submit manually if they didn’t feel good about using the form. Once we have a chance to compare and vet the options, we can move to something better for next time.

On that note, would you have a recommendation?

Rentlar,

We can drop off the surveys at Bob’s house, you know the one who lives just off of Main?

Done! This was much easier than the obnoxiously long StatsCan survey I keep putting off.

GrindingGears,

Ever had to do one for a business? Omfuckinggod, like nightmare fuel bad.

otter,

Good to hear, I was worried this one was getting too long

It’ll be interesting to see how many people fill it in, and how many are from another instance. It’s a good federation sampling project haha. Look forward to the results.

I see census, I fill in.

kia,

Are we getting a favourite dessert word cloud?

otter,

Yes we can do that :))

It will be interesting to see which dessert reigns supreme!

dubyakay,

Pudding chomeur will reign supreme!

argh_another_username,

Pudim de leite condensado (Translation: condensed milk pudding. Looks like creme caramel, but tastes differently)

Nanaimo Bars for sure

Mycatiskai,

My bet is on fruitcake.

J/k lemon meringue pie.

AmosBurton_ThatGuy,

Incorrect, banana cream pie is the superior pie. I’ll accept lemon meringue as a close 2nd though.

Mycatiskai,

Bananas belong in banana bread and almost nowhere else.

Bananas are sweet but bland, lemon has tart, sweet, sour all in one.
