This recent Swedish study was done in (what seems) to be a way that's much less prone to bias than soliciting people via Facebook posts.
It was also based on tests collected from blood donor samples, so none of the specific bias of the Stanford study (which to me also seems like a huge flaw even if other sources of evidence are pointing to similar IFR numbers and undercounting)
In any case, the Swedish findings cited for Stockholm in the analysis linked to in this COVID19 subreddit post indicate a similarly low overall IFR of far below 1%.
It is worth noting that blood donors would probable tend more towards youth and general good health, which could skew its demographic profile. Also, depending on donors' motives for donating (maybe they thought it would include a COVID test) could skew results in different and unpredictable ways.
