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


Link here: https://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 @[email protected] 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 [email protected]. 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~~

It will be interesting to see which dessert reigns supreme!

[–] skankhunt42 12 points 2 years ago

Nanaimo Bars for sure

[–] Mycatiskai 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

My bet is on fruitcake.

J/k lemon meringue pie.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mycatiskai 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bananas belong in banana bread and almost nowhere else.

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

Anything with chocolate and peanut butter together. Make of that what you will.

[–] argh_another_username 3 points 2 years ago

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

[–] dubyakay 1 points 2 years ago

Pudding chomeur will reign supreme!

[–] cygnus 19 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] GrindingGears 7 points 2 years ago

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

[–] otter 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Census complete. I ain't going to Lemmy Jail. Not again.

[–] mp3 20 points 2 years ago

Filled the census? Believe it or not, straight to jail.

[–] PuddingFeeling907 6 points 2 years ago

Haha you're safe until next year!

[–] troyunrau 17 points 2 years ago

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.

Are we getting a favourite dessert word cloud?

[–] otter 13 points 2 years ago

Yes we can do that :))

[–] PuddingFeeling907 14 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

This is mandatory as well :P

[–] otter 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've got a guess for your favorite dessert

Just a feeling

[–] PuddingFeeling907 11 points 2 years ago

Almost I put jello instead haha <3

[–] PuddingFeeling907 11 points 2 years ago

I love this! I can’t wait to see the results!

[–] avidamoeba 11 points 2 years ago

I see census, I fill in.

[–] AFallingAnvil 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Can't seem to get this link to load, unknown url scheme

[–] mp3 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] AFallingAnvil 8 points 2 years ago

That did help, thank you!

[–] t0fr 8 points 2 years ago

Done! It'll be cool to see the results

[–] Mereo 6 points 2 years ago

Good initiative! Done

[–] UncleBadTouch 5 points 2 years ago

Done, and I promise I did not mention birds once.

[–] ashtrix 4 points 2 years ago

Done, that wasn't too bad :)

[–] NicoCharrua 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] otter 4 points 2 years ago

I should hopefully have something out by next week!

[–] lemmybea 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

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

[–] jerkface 1 points 2 years ago

Fuck dessert.
