A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I’m not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn’t see much juice on the topic, so thought I’d spark it up.

Personally would like to see polls, but I’m sure there are people who don’t want it too. Let me know your thoughts 🌻

    Its a good idea, but how would that work with federation? There is already an issue with the number of upvotes on a post differing between instances. Would polls have the same problem or no?

    Edit: now that I think about it, polls are already a thing on Mastodon but I don’t know if they have these issues or not.

    Most of the fediverse already has polls, and can post things to lemmy groups. So yeah it would be nice to be able to see them properly.
