Want to contribute to the Surviving Community Survey?

Want to contribute to the Surviving Community Survey? It's easy! Pick a broad term to search on, then open a bunch of the communities that show up in the results.

For each, click on the number of members area (where member pics are shown), change the drop-down from "Members" to "Moderators" and see if there's an account labeled "Owner" that also has a name listed. Unnamed accounts are probably on their way out.

If you find one that's got an owner, submit it through the link below.

...and maybe invite the owner to this community, too. :)

Surviving Community Survey
Inspired by Eli Fennell's recent post, I propose a project to survey existing Communities for the ones likely to make it beyond the 60 day deletion clock.

I've created a form to submit them here: https://forms.gle/SzQ6yZaKD6KtkmRYA

The list of responses can be viewed here:

Basically, just go through your communities and look for any that don't have a red band across the top. If it has a yellow band (only one GSuite owner) or no band (multiple GSuite owners), submit it. Once we've got a good collection, we can see if there are gaps we'd like to close before making new ones becomes impossible.

To find who the owners are, just click on the little member bubbles above the community name, then choose "Moderators" from the drop-down where it says "Members" by default.
