This is our first-ever attempt at a large-scale community survey, and thus we figured why not make it a part of our 300K Members Milestone Celebration!? Assuming all goes well, we plan to make the Census an annual occurrence moving forward that runs throughout the January calendar month. After the Census closes, we'll take roughly ~2 weeks or so to aggregate and anonymize the data, before sharing it publicly in infographic form for the community to view and discuss! That can usually be expected to happen in mid-February, but will (hopefully) take place sometime within the first week of March for this first iteration.
You may be asking yourself: What kinds of questions will the Census ask?
The Census asks a series of questions about yourself and how you engage both with gacha games and the r/GachaGaming subreddit itself. Collecting this information will allow us to get a better picture of who the active members of our community are, what they like, and what games are currently the most popular, among other insights. These responses will help us to better inform future subreddit events, policies, and areas of focus, as well as, at least as a result of this first iteration, deisgn a new subreddit banner that both pays homage to the old but has also been updated to appear fresh and include currently popular games!
Some example questions, pulled directly from the Census:
- What Time Zone do you live in?
- What games in active service do you currently play or have enjoyed playing the most?
- When did you become a member of r/GachaGaming?
Note: We do inquire about gacha spending habits, but these questions have been marked as optional.
Please note that no identifying personal information is asked for, collected, or stored as part of this survey. We require all members to authenticate with a Reddit account created prior to the opening of the Census in order to access the form, and we do collect these usernames for the purpose of tracking duplicative submissions. However, following Census closure, data will be anonymized and usernames will be deleted, prior to sharing the results, to ensure they are no longer associated with your form response.
The Census is expected to take up to 10 minutes to complete.
Only Reddit accounts created prior to January 1, 2025 are considered eligible to participate.
