Some questions were about Meta, but all the time the used term was Discourse community. That was a bit confusing every now and then.

Thanks for taking the survey so quickly! We’re also inviting people to answer the survey who are not on meta already and may find it confusing to see references to meta. So we defined it in first sentence of the intro and then refer to “Discourse community” throughout.

The one question that confused me a bit was about the place where I go first for help with Discourse. I assume that meant aside from Meta?

Yes, the survey is about the Discourse Community (meta) so we thought the framing as “Where else do you presently go to get help and learn about Discourse?” was clear enough.

Thanks for taking the survey! :hugs:

Done! You guys, are the best!

I chose ‘other’ and ‘Ask Discourse’ I had used a lot this tool creating less new topics

@tobiaseigen Is this form anonymous?

Yes, indeed it is anonymous unless you provide your email address for followup. If you prefer you can complete the survey straight from the typeform website at https://form.typeform.com/to/RXdVvdco.

Can you give a direct link to the survey? The embed in your OP isn’t loading for me.

EDIT: OK, it finally loaded.

Very welcome survey, but I would have preferred giving my handle here rather than disclosing my email to a third party. :confused:

Do I reply directly to the typeform notification email or is the team going to reach out separately for followup?

Thanks for pointing this out! I just noticed the embed not loading correctly for me this morning, so I changed the OP to include the intro text directly in the post with a link to typeform. That feels better to me anyway.

That’s a good point. Sorry about that! We created the survey so it can be answered by people who are not already members, so asking for the email address seemed the best idea. I updated this question as follows:

Share your email address if you are interested in us following up with you about your answers or to talk about opportunities to contribute. If you prefer to keep your answers anonymous, you can also email us at moderators@discourse.org or contact moderators via personal message on the forum.

Either way! If you are inspired now after taking the survey and have more to say, you can reply immediately to the typeform notification and it will reach moderators here on the forum. We’ll also follow up with everyone who provides their email address over the coming weeks.
