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?
You must log in or # to comment.
Who gives a shit about a fucking poll?
“I don’t use it, hence nobody else does either”
obviously not you ;-)
Let’s do a poll and find out… Oh, wait.
if I was as meta as this comment, every time I spoke, i’d probably have to fuck myself
Fugitall I’ll hobbits ya I mean upvote but you are the subject of your own angry unwilling hypothesis
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.
Couldn’t you use a 3rd party site and post results? Not ideal, but block is pretty private/anonymous
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.
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.
