I created this survey. I originally posted it to the CL subreddit and the CL IRC channel, so somewhat limited communication channels. Maybe there are other, better places to post it?

There's a list of Common Lisp resources on Xach's blog [1] that includes communities, which remains relevant despite being an old post.

Also, contacting one of the people associated with a blog listed on Planet Lisp [2] would ensure that it appears there and might be seen by a wide yet relevant audience.

Usenet newsgroup comp.lang.lisp for sure.

That channel however is plagued by spam, robots and trolls, i.e. very low signal/noise ratio. I got the impression that many users/developers stick to mailing lists of the various projects/vendors.

With the decline in Usenet traffic, that's much less of a problem nowadays. I haven't seen any spam in comp.lang.lisp for the last 2 years at least. It's pretty much all signal, and mostly high quality too.

You must have some kind of spam filter. Of the 6 (six!) postings to comp.lang.lisp over the last week, half of them were some political anti-cryptocurrency campaing in Italian. But yes, a few years ago it was much worse.
