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.

    we will investigate these but no promises we’ll switch (beyond whether they have the features we need–which i’m not so worried about–ease of access is also a consideration we need to make with surveys. our audience is also not exclusively tech people and we are, bluntly, not nearly as absolutist with the need for privacy as many of the people on lemmy.)

      oh, cost/resources are another consideration. our finances aren’t exactly in a place where we can eat huge costs of any kind, so out of hand we’re going to be a lot less willing to consider stuff with a big price tag (especially when we can’t yet gauge how many surveys we’ll be doing and on what schedule)

        Again, I can’t argue against this point. Money is a necessary evil to consider for sure 💰
