That is a google survey, uBlock Origin shows 79 different trackers, and JShelter shows a few more. If it were not for that i would answer your questions.

What would be good privacy-friendly alternatives?
Honestly i don't know. A quick search trips my firewall for everything. Maybe it would have to be self hosted. I hope your survey goes well and you publish the results, but as it is i don't use google.
Cryptpad is a self-hosted FLOSS alternative to Google's office suite that supports form creation. The cool thing about it is that you can create any document in a public instance (such as cryptpad.fr or cryptpad.disroot.org) and you don't need to worry about your document being read by a server admin because all files are encrypted on the browser before being saved in the server.
Agreed. OP: It would be great if you did your future surveys with a more privacy respecting service. Many of us here on Lemmy are pretty privacy and FOSS minded. Would jot have surprised me if my DNS blocked some part of that site. I did the survey with another browser.
Firefox on mobile refuses to open it, fuck that
My mobile Firefox opened it with zero issue. Device problem.
Yeah my Firefox did so too. We are probably privacy nerds.
Completed. Hope it helps.
I have a suggestion. You may find it beneficial to add a multiple-selection question about the primary types of communities that Lemmy users subscribe to. E.g, "what are the communities you primarily use on Lemmy: Tech, Sports, DIY, Politics, Gaming, Memes/Funny" etc. It will give you a better view of the kind of user demographic that preferred to migrate vs stay on Reddit.
You might also want to add an option for "Niche/special content" as one of the reasons I miss Reddit. Because that is the #1 thing I miss, finding random car subs that could answer all sorts of mechanical questions.
What are the type of communities you primarily use on Lemmy?
Leaving LGBTIQ out of this seems like a bit of an oversight.
How do you plan on collating people who put one of the many varied ways of describing those communities?
this posting must be in response to someone asking if the pm from the same person was legit.
This is great, I've completed the form. I hope you post results here at some point!
