You can make polls now. It's pretty straightforward.

1 sat to create
1 sat to vote in a poll (at some point poll creator will be able to set this)

All sats from creation and poll votes go to rewards.

Over the next week or two I'll be working on performance/ops enhancements and refinements to existing features. I'll probably start a thread to ask you all what you want enhanced at some point.

We'll end this with a poll. Am I fat?

Yes18.5%

No38.3%

Always have been43.2%

The rate at which SN is developing and improving is incredibly impressive. Kudos! 👀

This is great! I gave it a try right away :)

Couple of feedbacks on my experience:

I hit a limit with the available characters and had to try reducing the length of the answers
I hit a limit with number of options possible and had to re-think how to do the survey
I was not expecting that the answers are going to be capitalized
It's not possible to edit the answers in the 10m edit window (e.g. to fix typos), maybe because people already voted?

Btw, with the limits... would it be cool if each extra character over the limit costs 100 sats? I think that could be true for any fields on SN that have length limit.

"undesirables" cost more...

Another thought - it would be great if there's a way (e.g. onhover) to see how many people voted on each item (so I don't have to do the math...)

Do polls participate in the ranking algorithm? E.g. if there are 10 people that voted on the poll will it be ranked on the home page?

Nope, not yet anyway.

Oh I see, but as soon as someone clicks on lightning on the post, then it participates? That makes sense as far as I can tell...

Nice! Really like that it's similar to Twitter design wise

101 sats \ 0 replies \ @faithandcredit 30 Jul 2022

omg nice. but holy shit it costs sats to vote as well. will be interesting to test a SN poll vs a Twitter poll one day and see if there is a big difference in the outcome. idk
