Like, it might really be a stupid question. I found this 5 year and still open Git Issue asking for the functionality: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/787
If so, then how do you make polls on Lemmy?
There’s really no poll feature. Piefed has polls but Lemmy doesn’t.
You could make a poll by asking a question then reading people’s answers, or by linking a poll website.
There was a grant in the 2024 NLNet funding round for Lemmy, specifically mentioning polls:
Poll support (3500€)
SourceDon’t know if that grant still stands, but someone with the skills could implement polls and earn some money.
Couldn’t you use a 3rd party site and post results? Not ideal, but block is pretty private/anonymous
Have you tried making a poll on mastodon and at mentioning the lemmy community? Mastodon supports polls, and you can post to a lemmy community by at mentioning it from any fediverse service, but I have no idea what lemmy (or piefed) would do with the poll.
Best I can do is a thread where you prepopulate the poll answers as comments and tell people to vote their answer and hope they only vote once. Or you have them respond and manually organize the data yourself.
Who gives a shit about a fucking poll?
Let’s do a poll and find out… Oh, wait.
Fugitall I’ll hobbits ya I mean upvote but you are the subject of your own angry unwilling hypothesis
“I don’t use it, hence nobody else does either”
obviously not you ;-)
I agree with you but lots of people need general, vague direction that is wholly questionable in it’s truth. It’s something they can sink their teeth into and believe wholeheartedly! /s
if I was as meta as this comment, every time I spoke, i’d probably have to fuck myself
