Sad to hear that's been happening on Blahaj. Full and unambiguous support from me! ๐
Compiling this data was not as hard as I expected, let's go through the data and the shiny graphs!
Age of Beeple
Most are above 24! Seems we got an older average age compared to a lot of social media. It would be interesting to see how many came here with experiences from independent forums before Reddit.
Where Beeple reside
This one's a big graph. Though we can notice most people are from the US. Would be nice to see more countries represented though a big part of it likely has to do with language. (You will need to open the big graph in another tab, it's too big to show properly.)
Gender identity of Beeple
So, as expected, mostly men. However, less than expected which is nice to see. There should be outreach to at least equalize this.
Sexual orientation of Beeple
This is kinda surprising. It seems we managed to get a lot more LGBTQ+ people than expected considering most of you all come from Reddit - so this is nice to see. This is most likely because of our focus on a safe space.
Whiteness of Beeple
As expected, mostly white which is unfortunate. I think there's outreach to be done in that regard as well.
Neurodivergence of Beeple
We seem to have a really surprising amount of neurodivergent people! Definitely nice to see.
Beeple with disabilities
I.. have no idea how to interpret this data so I'll just say, shiny graph.
Beeple's awareness of the Fediverse
Most knew about the fediverse but still a good 20% had not heard about it so glad to see you all managed to find your way here!
How Beeple have been dealing with Beehaw
It seems most people feel relatively confident in their ability to use Beehaw and most people seem to enjoy it. That makes me really happy to see. Feels rewarding, feels good.
Conclusion
I wanna thank everyone for the feedback about the survey and its questions - we'll do better next time! I'm glad we did this survey because it shows the areas to work on in terms of outreach! Thank you all for your participation!
Lemmy creates the account before being approved - it is quite silly. If you can give me the username, I can give it a look, we're currently going through all the backlog for people we missed.
Yeah, the issue is people without email but also people with the wrong email. I've caught quite a few typos from our email server not being able to send their approval because the email had a typo. I did send them manually and tell them the error they made.
So, I guess we could just change email but I don't see quite the difference in terms of abuse with regards to change password if I could simply change someone's email and get it anyways.
is that the new karma
It's been approved. Thank you for your patience.
Ah yeah, Lemmy doesn't say when a username is taken..
Was that really the problem all along?
I want to use it but I've not yet paid for it so I've unfortunately not done so yet. I don't currently have a job so it's pretty hard to justify...
I use RSS through Readwise Reader though I've used Newsblur in the past. I really wish Newsblur was redesign to get a more modern interface..
This should probably actually be in https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues since it's related to UI.
There is currently no discussion or consideration happening but I'm not sure if that might become an option in Lemmy in the future as it seems a few people want this feature for communities that allow downvotes.
That said, at the moment, downvotes from other instances or the host instance does not appear to Beehaw users so I don't think it actually has a negative effect.
