How to conduct polls in this instance?
It would be a pretty useful feature to have polls built in.
And with some controls available when submitting to reduce spam or brigading
ie: only allowing account older than xx days to vote, only accounts subscribed to the community at the time of posting, lock the poll after xx days, etc
ATM, by using a third party website. Strawpoll is one that I see often.
Unfortunately there is no built in poll feature. It sounds like a good idea to add, but it’s nontrivial enough that it should go through the RFC process.
Most people just use comments as a polling system -> comment the responses and people upvote what they choose
Or use a polling website and link to it in the post. I don’t think Lemmy supports polls like Reddit does at this point in time
I’ve seen a few done using strawpoll.com
