MODERATORS
 

I'm going to run this as a poll by creating some responses you can upvote. If you wouldn't mind upvoting a an existing comment so we get get a really nice count. See the comments I'm Leaving to get an idea of how the poll works. Try to follow my comment structure, but add your own options if you really feel I'm missing something.

I really hope this works how I'm envisioning. I really want to get an idea of operating system and platform preference skew for Lemmy.

How to vote:

  1. Upvote the operating system you use
  2. Upvote how your download the app of choice

If you use a browser

  1. Find the "Browser" comment and upvote
  2. Upvote the browser you use

If you use multiple, feel free to upvote multiple

For anything that isn't a vote, please search for the "bump comment" and reply to that. I know this isn't exactly open ended, but I really wanted to pose this question to a community that didn't skew towards a specific topic. I hope that's ok with this community and the mods. I would love to discuss the results of this poll at some point. My goal is to collect those results in a way that informs that discussion so we're not all guessing how people use Lemmy.

Edit: because there is a troll downvoting comments randomly, you should look at just the upvotes, not the score, to get the correct poll results.

Huh, that's not a browser, but I'll take a look at it nonetheless. I am currently using Alexandrite as a browser frontend though. But thanks!

(In terms of this survey, IDK whereβ€Œ browser frontends should be placed, I am not sure if it should be here or its own top-level category)

This should have a bump comment for ppl to reply to if they respond otherwise it’ll die out pretty quick from little perceived interaction
