The census will close on January 15th, 2026.
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. You do not need to be located in Canada, and you do not need to have an account on one of our platforms. If you do have an account on lemmy.ca, sh.itjust.works, piefed.ca, and/or pixelfed.ca, you can indicate that on the census in order to be included in those separate graphs/visualizations.
No question is mandatory. You may skip any question by either selecting โno answer (skip this question)โ, 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:
- !main@lemmy.ca
- !main@sh.itjust.works
- !main@piefed.ca
- A pinned post on pixelfed.ca
The questions were created with help from @Dave@lemmy.nz, based on the questions from their census this year :)
EDIT: We've made the links unclickable (see comments). The census is long, so I didn't want people to lose their progress near the end. The links are here:
So this was actually intentional, and @Dave@lemmy.nz and I discussed how we could word it in order to let people pick the option that made the most sense to them.
I think a lot of people are in a similar situation as you, and would be making a similar choice
if this is for metrics/charts and whatnot, wouldn't having questions be very clear and concise be better then people answering it based on their own personal idea of what is being asked?
Great, that means I got the answer right ๐
