I did a poll and nearly 30% of the people who voted said they used Sync! It’s stayed around that percent the whole time too!
EDIT: Here is the poll I forgot to put this here like five times lol https://strawpoll.com/wby5A21R1yA
Well it was more like 4-5k and it is most likely a fair representation of overall users, as it was asked in a general community which is one of the largest and the percentage stayed around the same the whole time
I don’t want to be a dick. All I’m saying is running such a poll is tricky as time of day as well as day of the week will impact the results drastically. Add to that the type of audience and then you’ve got massive skew.
What general community on what instance?
There is no way this poll provides a realistic sentiment thats anything but a pulled out of thin air guess.
Does the poll verbiage differentiate if I have Sync but use Liftoff far more at the moment?
This poll was originally shared in !asklemmy@lemmy.ml then in !voyagerapp@lemmy.world. Given how one of them is one of the 3 largest communities on the Lemmy network and the other is a community for another app, I would say those communities probably aren’t biased. There wasn’t even a link to the poll on this post until seven hours after this post was created, which was after most of the engagement with this post.
The poll asks for which client(s) you mainly use and has the opportunity for multiple, so 25-30ish percent of 4.5k people (1.8k people) voted that Sync is one of their main clients. That doesn’t mean they don’t use multiple, but it does mean it is by far the largest client used by people in general, even if everyone uses multiple (which I do)
How about a link to the polls directly?
What time of day? how long was the poll up?
This is not a well done poll based on the (lack of) details about it. This is just an arbitrary survey of a small microcosm of users. Making statements like ‘25%’ of Lemmy users are using Sync based on this poll, true or not, is a false conclusion from a limited data set.
/waves poor statstical probabilities around like an old man cane
