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.
I was also a little turned around when I saw a Google form show up.
I think the long-term answer here is for a native poll feature right in the platform. There’s a feature request for this on the Lemmy github project.
Until then, though, everything’s just a temporary placeholder solution.
Note that for our survey, a poll would not be nearly complex enough.
Very fair point, unless the Poll feature is not only implemented, but suffers from an insane amount of feature creep as well.
Yeah, like, I don’t want checkbox polling, free-forms and other stuff crammed in there - I would go insane 😰
On the other hand I think it would be an awesome option but think they should be hidden behind an advanced editor.
Mastodon has this feature baked right in. It’ll be great if this feature makes it way into Lemmy as well. 🤞
