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 @admin@lemmy.ca 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@lemmy.ca. 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@lemmy.ca 12 points 11 months ago

Nanaimo Bars for sure

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

My bet is on fruitcake.

J/k lemon meringue pie.

[–] AmosBurton_ThatGuy@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months 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.

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

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Pudding chomeur will reign supreme!

[–] cygnus@lemmy.ca 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] GrindingGears@lemmy.ca 7 points 10 months ago

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

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

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

[–] ValueSubtracted@startrek.website 18 points 11 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 20 points 11 months ago

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

[–] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 6 points 10 months ago

Haha you're safe until next year!

[–] troyunrau@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months 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.

[–] kia@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Are we getting a favourite dessert word cloud?

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 13 points 11 months ago

Yes we can do that :))

[–] Evil_Opossum@lemmy.ca 16 points 11 months ago
[–] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

This is mandatory as well :P

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 17 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've got a guess for your favorite dessert

Just a feeling

[–] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

Almost I put jello instead haha <3

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

I see census, I fill in.

[–] PuddingFeeling907@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago

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

[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

That did help, thank you!

[–] t0fr@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

Done! It'll be cool to see the results

[–] Mereo@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Good initiative! Done

[–] UncleBadTouch@lemmy.ca 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] ashtrix@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

Done, that wasn't too bad :)

[–] NicoCharrua@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 months ago

I should hopefully have something out by next week!

[–] lemmybea@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months 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@lemmy.ca 3 points 10 months 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?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Fuck dessert.
