📋 Doe mee aan het Discourse community-onderzoek!

Over the next few months, we’re going to make some improvements here in the Discourse Community (meta). We need your experience, expertise, and ideas to guide us! If you have a few minutes, please answer a few quick questions. Your responses will be kept anonymous unless you decide to share your email address.

Edit: Survey is now closed. Thanks everyone who participated! :sunflower:

Sommige vragen gingen over Meta, maar de hele tijd was de gebruikte term de Discourse community. Dat was af en toe een beetje verwarrend.

Bedankt voor het zo snel invullen van de enquĂȘte! We nodigen ook mensen uit die nog niet op meta zitten om de enquĂȘte in te vullen en die het misschien verwarrend vinden om verwijzingen naar meta te zien. Daarom hebben we het in de eerste zin van de introductie gedefinieerd en daarna gedurende de hele enquĂȘte verwezen naar “Discourse community”.

De enige vraag die me een beetje in verwarring bracht, ging over de plek waar ik als eerste terechtkan voor hulp met Discourse. Ik neem aan dat daarmee bedoeld werd, afgezien van 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 dit formulier anoniem?

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.

EnquĂȘte voltooid. Leuk idee om de gemeenschap zo te betrekken.

Bedankt!

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.

I was sad not to see a Mastodon or generic fediverse logo there at the bottom. I follow @Discourse@mastodon.social and especially with CDCK supporting the ActivityPub plugin I would have hoped to have seen it called out.

Included in my response was the fact that probably because I was an early adopter of the ActivityPub plugin on meta itself, there is something wrong in the database that causes federation not to work for me even though it works for other folks, so I can’t see meta posts on my own Mastodon account. Angus couldn’t replicate the problem on his own install, and doesn’t have database access on meta to debug the problem, so as far as I can tell I’m out of luck despite being an active promoter of Discourse on the fediverse. :sob: (I really wish someone at CDCK would rails c and fix that.) Thanks for the fix! :heart:

Thanks for that comment! I was bummed that that option is not available as well in typeform. You can’t even have html there. I’re removed the buttons now and added text to suggest folks share the survey with their friends. We want to get as many people who are interested in Discourse to have a chance to give input.

We are going to be sharing the survey ourselves via our social media channels so when you see our posts, please feel very free to share it further! And thank you! :hugs:

I also submitted a support request to typeform to allow more control over which social sharing buttons are shown. I could upgrade and link to a page on our own website where we can show whatever we want, but that feels like overkill to me at this stage.

Oh interesting! Appreciate that color, and thanks for following up with them! :heart:

Some meta on the choice of typeform: It looked to me like it had good a11y with explicit text directing how to respond by keyboard. I didn’t think to look for aria labels, but it was sure nice to see obviously intentional keyboard support at least. So that’s a :+1: from me!

Wat is één uitdaging met betrekking tot Discourse die u volgend jaar rond deze tijd zou willen oplossen?

Ik begrijp deze vraag niet, kunt u voorbeelden geven?

I assume the team will clarify further, but the way I read it, it would be stuff like “migrate a community to Discourse”, “grow community by x%”, “improve onboarding experience for new users”, etc.

Hey, it’s great that you’re asking for feedback. Some feedback however: it was a bit surprising to find a survey for a different community on our forum. Would it be possible to find a more appropriate way to distribute future ones? I expected to find new feature announcement of the Discourse software when clicking this notification, not to find surveys for the Discourse meta community.

Also, this notification seems to re-occur multiple times (twice in the past week). Could that be looked into?

Thank you in advance!
