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 π»
Why is Javascript on Twitter?
This wasn't taken from Twitter.
That was a lame joke about the check mark. π
Oh, that was a bit difficult to catch hehe π
Looks like it might be cool to have.
Benefit of
You mean 'Benefit from', here, right?
yeah.. not my mother tongue sorry.
I want to see lemmy grow and be a really feature rich platform with no lack in features so yes i would love to see encrypted pm, polls etc.
If we want polls we must join-lemmy.org/donate
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.
What's a Lemmy group?
There's a very long history of calling things like lemmy communities "groups". In my case I'm old and the habit comes from Usenet.
My first exposure to that interchangable use in the Lemmy lexicon. Now I Know!
Lemmy and other Fediverse applications use the ActivityPub protocol under the hood. The ActivityPub protocol has something called "groups", which Lemmy uses as communities. So groups and communities are the same thing essentially but other software (like Mastodon) calls groups something else and not necessarily communities. But I'm not an expert.
Thanks for clearing that up!
If it's a community, OK. If it's something else, I definately want to know that too.
That was exactly my thought when asking. But it seems it's the former.
It's a community
Open polls are one of the few good things about Facebook.
I do not want to see polls added unless it's only moderators and admins who can post them. If Lemmy is anything like reddit (it is), the vast majority of them will be useless clutter...people posting polls as "content."
It encourages clicking a button over leaving a reply. We'll get a thousand "Do you think [thing] or [other thing]" posts with very little engagement.
Sure? Maybe also small Wikis for some communities.
I'd like to see that happen, especially if it comes with the following options to restrict the poll:
Letβs take a poll and find out!
