Hello everyone!
My name is Thatiany Nunes. I hold a master’s degree from the Department of Visual Contents at Dongseo University, South Korea. I am conducting a research study to understand the impact of the Reddit migration on Lemmy and its community dynamics.
Some of you might have already received a private message containing open-ended questions. However, I am now reaching out to extend a warm invitation to the entire community to participate in a short, multiple choice survey. This survey aims to gather your experiences and perceptions of the Reddit migration on Lemmy. It will take approximately 5 minutes to complete, and participation is entirely voluntary. Rest assured, all responses will be kept strictly confidential and will be used solely for academic purposes.
Link to the survey:

Mods, if this post violates any community rules, please feel free to remove it or contact me, and I will promptly delete it.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Your participation is greatly valued!
Sent a response, hope it’ll help!
Sent. Good luck with your research!
Responded!
Have you noticed an increase in Lemmy usage since the Reddit migration?
This probably needs an option for “not applicable”. If someone came in with the migration, it’s hard for them to compare with the Before Times that they weren’t here for. (I had to choose ‘not sure’.)
Answering questions you didn’t ask:
-
Did I move from reddit exclusively to Lemmy? No; I’m getting some of my tech needs from ycombinator, meme content from imgur, and I’m also on tildes.
-
How does your frequency and type of interaction (post, comment, read) on Lemmy compare to your time on reddit? I’m slightly less active on Lemmy than I was on reddit, mostly because some effort is sucked onto yc, imgur and tildes. Anecdotally, I know some people who are less active here because they’re finding less content to interact with; as well as people who are much more active here, because the communities aren’t overrun with bots, trolls, shills, and other people acting in bad faith.
Yeah, I hit “not sure” as well. Maybe this could be mitigated with a reminder within the"have you noticed an increase" question that questions are optional. Or, if you have a way to ignore responses to this question based on responses to “were you here before the migration”, just do that.
Responded!
