My post was too long so I had to post here: https://pastes.io/07p5nd9dxc

Edit: first correction to the paste, our trans community is represented far above the general population. Around 11% of our community is trans, while in the world only 1% of people are. I also only gave absolute numbers for some reason in the paste so here’s the percentage points: 10% trans women, 1% trans men, 7.7% nonbinary.

      The problem is the respondents themselves might not even know the answer to the question. What should we ask specifically? How much time do you spend on lemmygrad, how many comments you posted over the last 7 days?

        I was thinking about the typical “hours in a week” question but I realise now that it won’t actually capture those who lurk and those who engage.

        I guess the latter (amount of comments per week) would work but who actually keeps count on that. I wouldn’t even know what to choose if I were asked it.

        Maybe just a simple yes/no question about being a lurker? Unsure if the results would be reliable/useful in any way though.

          In the case of counting comments, they can check their account. In the case of estimating how many hours they spend… I always have lemmygrad open somewhere and I check it routinely during the day, I legit have no idea how long I spend on it during the day
