I’m not affiliated with this in any way but saw it posted at the other place & thought fellow Lemmyzens might like to take a look

Hi everyone,

Like in previous years, I’m running a survey about self-hosting. The focus is on your favorite self-hosted apps, but there are plenty of other (optional) questions too. The top five app lists are free response fields, you don’t have to select the suggestions.

Last year’s results

More info:

  • The survey is anonymous. Like last year, results will be published in aggregated form. I’m currently planning to publish them in December.
  • It takes about 10-25 minutes.
  • Some of you asked for more questions in the comments. I added a lot at first, then realized it took 45 minutes to fill out properly. So I threw some out again, but there are still quite a few. The survey now has a core section that mainly covers the MVPs (your 5 favorite apps), and you can switch on other modules if you want. Almost every question is optional and can be skipped. If you answer everything at a reasonable pace, it takes around 20 minutes.
  • The proprietary survey tool caused new problems every year, so last year I switched to HeyForm while the survey was already running. That wasn’t ideal for my purposes either, so this year the survey runs on a new app. It should also make entering your apps faster.
  • It’s still easier to fill out on a desktop computer.

Thank you in advance for participating.
