Apologies if I missed one that has already been held. But I saw a member census of beehaw, which was really interesting. I’m not suggesting gathering of any personally identifying info, but more generally getting a sense of who is here on kbin.

    I’m a human being residing on planet Earth, and I’m composing this message in the English language.

    What interesting things did you find from beehaw census?

      I think they had gender split, country etc. It’d be nice to know if kbin mirrors more of the reddit general membership or if it differs

        I think people’s interests/hobbies are much more interesting than there gender/country etc. Like:

        • Are you a dog person or cat person?
        • Do you think video games are too violent?
        • Do you believe in alternative medicine?
        • Toilet seat up or down?
        • Do you like beans?

          • Is your homepage /sub or /all?
          • Is this your first Fediverse site?
          • What theme do you use?
          • Do you prefer app, desktop or mobile site?
          • What deadly sin do you think should get a pass?

          I might have seen enough bean content for one lifetime.

          I like the idea of hobbies and interests being a part. Might help see if we have strong potential ‘niche’ communities

            A separate magazine for this really might be the way to go. A place for users to introduce themselves and answer various surveys. Or, like I offered below, I could open up /m/namethefediverse to shudder activity that isn’t me.
