MODERATORS
 

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.

My two pence: I really appreciate the nod to the Rest of the World in having a world news community but I honestly can't see myself participating in it. The dreadful things happening in the US are hard to avoid on social media, as is the deep deep anger they foster. Following so many other countries is a lot of weight to add, given that I also can't avoid the UK's self-immolating bin fire either.
I also question the quality of commentary it would foster being so broad. But maybe it would be a better home for say news about Ukraine and that would be worthwhile.

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

[–] Lionir@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

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

[–] toshmonaut@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Done. Thanks for all the work you folks are putting into building a thriving community!

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.

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 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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.

Living for the "be(e)". Already answered btw 🫶

[–] d4r1us_drk@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago

Please we need that Retro community!

[–] wulfinna@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Hyperz@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Done. Looking forward to the results :)

[–] plactagonic@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.
