A lot has changed since our last census in 2023! We would like to take another opportunity to learn about our growing community.
Everyone is welcome to fill out this survey! While this census is being run by the admins of lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works, piefed.ca, and pixelfed.ca, you do not need to have an account on these instances, and you do not need to be located in Canada. If you do have an account on one of our instances, you can indicate that on the census to be included in those separate graphs/visualizations.
No question is mandatory. You may skip any question by either selecting “no answer (skip this question)”, or by leaving the question blank.
Some questions will be hidden depending on your selections. For example, the Pixelfed specific questions will be hidden if you don't select that as one of the platforms you use.
Sections:
- Section 1: Location
- Section 2: Demographics
- Section 3a: Instance Usage (Forum/Threadiverse)
- Section 3b: Instance Usage (Pixelfed)
- Section 4: Feedback / Closing questions
When results are ready, we will share them on our website and with posts on the main/meta communities in our instances.
The questions were created with help from @Dave@lemmy.nz, based on the questions from their census this year. The banner image was made with icons from flaticon.com.
