A survey on user experience in fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon, etc.)

https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/LyJcsEgXPzaWJtwXXsGq4uoGwK6C+VzujXC6Wrz3YqI/

I would greatly appreciate if anyone could participate in the survey I created for my research about fediverse . it won't take much time and it is hosted on privacy friendly service, cryptpad . all responses are anonymized. You don't have to answer all questions. Fill as much you can and submit when you had enough.

What's the purpose of your research? Curiosity? A student thesis? A professional paper? Are you a dev actively working on improving the fediverse?

Oh I see.

It would have been nice to have that in the post description for those of us who aren't as willing to hand over data (even anonymized) for certain uses.

Thanks for locating it!

It is just a literature review of fediverse. But I just wanted to include some suggesions of the users. Thank you for your support

Would you mind sharing the results later? (I’d love to get dm’ed then)

JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee · 6 pts · 2y (1 reply)

Me too

InfiniteFlow@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y

Ditto

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 5 pts · 2y

For sure. Thank you for the support

Love the idea, but you should really ask someone who actually speaks english to check the whole questionnaire. It's filled with spelling and grammatical errors.

My apologies. Actually it was more of a last minute work. I am almost at the deadline. I did not believe I could get support from people who don't know me. So I did not had an idea to do a survey. But eventually it already got 10 responses by now. thank you so much everyone

Several questions doesn't work on FF Android.

livus@kbin.social · 2 pts · 2y

Worked for me.

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y

I am sorry. This is also my first time I used cryptpad.

Survey isn't very mobile friendly, couldn't fill out the user experience questions so I gave up

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 4 pts · 2y

I'm sorry. I had to use something else rather than google forum cuz many don't like to give information to google

I also couldn't until I turned my phone to landscape mode.

When opening from the liftoff client on iOS, it doesn’t work for me:

Error

What a weird site and a weird set of questions. First I was asked if I use centralized social media services and I said no, and later I was asked about what I like about centralized social media services.

Survey research is hard -- especially when you are a student learning to do it.

em2@lemmy.ml · 6 pts · 2y

I understood it differently. Although I don't use it, I know it exists and it does have an upside (or at least, it used to).

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 0 pts · 2y

Sorry. My first time with CryptPad. I had to use it because people here won't like google forums

LazaroFilm@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 2y (7 replies)

The survey really tries to push you towards censorship of centralized media, when the issue (for me) was Reddit controlling monetization of the media. I’m not on X/Twitter because of censorship, but I’m not using mastodon either. I’m on Lemmy because Reddit killed Apollo.

I don't really understand what you meant. Anyways thank you for the response

LazaroFilm@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (5 replies)

Some questions were like you’re on decentralized media because: 1- censorship 2- misinformation 3- other

And the subsequent questions were all about censorship and misinformation, but none applied to why I’m here (Reddit’s monetization of their platform)

But when you choose other, you can give your reasons

It just feels a bit like that Trump questionnaire I got once:

Is Donald Trump a:

  • A - great president
  • B - good president
  • C - other
gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Now I get your point. I didn't think about that. I just wanted to know what are the valid reasons people have other than those two

LazaroFilm@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y (1 reply)

An option is a free text box then word cloud the results to see the most used words.

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Thank you for the idea

I got it to work just fine from my android phone. Cheers and good luck with your research!

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Thank you for the support

HorseWithNoName@lemm.ee · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It worked for me, but I think there may be an issue with question 4. I used Firefox btw, but it did take a little while to load.

Good luck with your research

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Thank you so much

To people who say the link won't work: I opened a private window in Firefox and it worked for me.

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 2y

Yes. I corrected it later

Eggyhead@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

On an iPhone 12 Mini, I wasn’t able to see the options for the “how would you rate” questions until I held my phone horizontally. Just sharing that now in case it affects anyone else.

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y

Looks like it is not mobile friendly. Thank you for the support

HerbalGamer@lemm.ee · 2 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I got an error on the link.

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

I checked it now. It is working

HerbalGamer@lemm.ee · 3 pts · 2y (1 reply)

not for me but that might be due to being on Opera

gplwpu@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 2y

maybe. Looks like choosing cryptpad for creating the forum was not a good idea
