Hello world!
We would like to start by saying thank you ❤, no really 🙏 THANK YOU to ALL the moderators out there!
Without you folks, we would have no one to help keep our community safe and help build the communities both here on Lemmy.World and on other fine instances. To this end, we want to make sure your voices are heard 📣 loud and clear📣.
So, in the spirit of transparency, we would like everyone to know that we are looking to help out the folks working on Sublinks. Over the last several months we have grown to be more than just Lemmy.World. We've added platforms such as Pixelfed and Sharkey to help offer our users more diverse options for expressing themselves online. We still are very committed to Mastodon as well.
We DO NOT plan on moving away from Lemmy as a software platform at this time. Any changes in our core services would need to be discussed extensively internally AND externally with our community members. We firmly believe in the growth of the Fediverse and without the users, there would only be software, and that's no fun!
Sooo...
The Sublinks team has written up a little survey, which we feel is both thorough and inclusive. It covers a wide range of topics, such as user privacy, and community engagement, along with trying to gauge things that are difficult when moderating.
Also please be aware the information collected by this survey is completely anonymous. As many of us in the social sciences background know, if you want the REAL feelings of individuals, they need to feel safe to express themselves.
Please feel free to comment in this thread, we will do our best to respond to any genuine questions.
We look forward to hearing from each and every one of you!
=Sincerely,
Fedihosting Foundation
PS ... also if this sounds like a corporate press release to you folks, we still punk 🤘😜🤘
While I'd like to contribute to the survey, I'm not comfortable using a Microsoft form in addition to providing uniquely identifying info
I'm still willing to contribute in other ways tho🤗
You can dm @jgrim@discuss.online any of your thoughts and ideas. Or just put your ideas into !sublinks@discuss.online and create a public discussion or even if you techie enough just create an issue on github https://github.com/sublinks/sublinks-api and jgrim and the team will discuss about it.
Thanks for your help
Is there a better form service to be used? We used it because it comes free with our email.
searching online a couple I've found:
I was hoping not to have to host it myself. I won't need it often. I was mostly curious about a Saas. Thanks though!
ayyy it's got AGPL-3.0 and it's dockerized🎉
noice👌
It's actually extremely buggy. Not sure if we'll fix it or find something else. Perhaps something you suggested.
fair enough🌻
sometimes being realistic means to compromise and choose something that works albeit unoptimal so it's totally understandable👍
I setup https://github.com/deck9/input on polls.sublinks.org. We'll use this next time.
