TL;DR If you are reading this (regardless of what instance you are on) then please fill in the Lemmy.nz 2025 Census

Last year we did a census to get an idea about the people using Lemmy - both who they are and how they use Lemmy. You can see the results here.

Lemmy.ca did one the year before, which was our inspiration. The results can be seen here.

I had intended to repeat this each year, and so here we are. I have worked with @[email protected] who ran the Lemmy.ca census, with contributions from others, to come up with a refined set of questions that we will keep largely standardised. We also expect to have a LimeSurvey template available that other instances can use if they want to (I can do this right now if someone reading wants it, but it's Lemmy.nz based at the moment so would need tweaks for the specific instance). LimeSurvey is a self-hostable survey tool.

The intent is to catch anyone who interacts with Lemmy.nz. If you see this post, that's you! You're interacting with us by reading our content! Anyone can fill in the survey, it can help us get other insights across Lemmy.

None of the questions are mandatory, so just answer what you are comfortable answering. I expect to leave this open for a while and have some reminders to make sure we get as many responses as possible. I’ll do a results post once the results are in and I have had a chance to analyse them.

Let me know if you have any questions!
