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 🌻
It would work the exact same way, i.e. every instance would have its own idea of the results, depending on what instances are (de)federated with.
Differences in vote counts among instances is not an issue; it is by design.
It would be really neat to see the differences between instances that take part in the polls, I think it would work fine.
You would just view the poll on the instance you’re curious about and it would show the result from its perspective.
