Can we have a kbin census? (kbin.social)

Apologies if I missed one that has already been held. But I saw a member census of beehaw, which was really interesting. I'm not suggesting gathering of any personally identifying info, but more generally getting a sense of who is here on kbin.

Over on Mastodon, the custom is the "(hash)introduction" hashtag for things like this.

Not sure what that custom ought to be on Kbin, Lemmy and similar, since everything has to be assigned to a magazine.

Maybe a (hash)introduction microblog post on /m/random?

Or someone could set up a magazine specifically for introductions, because magazines are kind of like the "main" hashtag that a piece of content would be associated with, but that seems like overkill.

... Anyway I just did a search (here) on kbin.social and it seems like there are already a few uses of that hashtag in various magazines, presumably where people feel most comfortable or where their account is going to be used. I can imagine some people might have different accounts for different magazines. Whatever works for them, I guess.

If you want your census, that might be a place to start. As for participating, I'll probably do the hashtag on /m/random at some point. Eventually. When I'm ready.

I guess I could adjust the rules on /m/namethefediverse? Or we could just make an /m/rollcall magazine.
