MODERATORS
 

UPDATE: RESULTS HAVE CLOSED! thank you for your participation—we've received over 1,500 responses which is quite a lot more than we expected. aggregated results and community creation decisions should hopefully come in due time.


hello folks!

with our backlog cleared and many new people around, now's a good time to do our first-ever Beehaw Community Survey--the first of what will likely be(e) many to come. this survey should take no more than 5 or 10 minutes to fill out, so we strongly encourage you to do so when you are able to. you can find it at the following link:

Beehaw Community Survey


the survey is comprised of seven optional demographic questions to help us assess the overall identity of our community and three questions relating to Beehaw and the Fediverse. it also asks you about 17 possible communities we are considering and whether you would actively participate in them if made.

the survey will be open for approximately a week. we'll definitely close it before July 1, so please get your responses in before that date. it'll also be locally pinned for at least the next three days or so, so please mind that. thanks!


results will also be aggregated and posted on here in a summary sometime thereafter. no ETA on that though.

Chile doesn't seem to be an option when choosing a country.

I can't complete this on mobile. I hit next on the first question and it wants to open some file instead of going to the next question.

Edit: I uninstalled WPS office, I assume it had some handler for Google docs.

Is Canada not a Beehaw friendly country? I could not find it on the list.

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

It's on the list, it's in the top 4 options since we expected many people to be there!

[–] kbyanyname@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago

Done! Thanks for your hard work here!

Please we need that Retro community!

Interested in seeing the demographic information that comes out of this. Aside, it would be useful in the future to have the ability to select multiple options on the gender and sexual orientation questions. I fall under more than one option in both of those.

Done. I want, I need the retro/vintage community. But I wanna know, what kind of content, and from which decades/centuries would go there?

[–] alyaza@beehaw.org 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

catch all for now, although given our bent i'm guessing it'd mostly be retro tech and similar

Please don't add too much communitis.

I think that it is great that there is only few communities and I gladly comment on something (but I don't post much).

From Reddit I was used to contribute more to small specific subreddits and I think that this isn't the place for that - federation covers this need.

Hi not sure if you are aware, but this showed up on my kbin feed. I often see admin posts from other instances here.

People who arent actually on beehaw might fill it out for some reason, you know how the internet is.

I guess there is no way to limit the post visibility to only your own users.

I personally would love to see some spirituality communities, as a trans pagan.
