We're excited to announce a feature on our platform that takes user engagement to the next level: Polls! Whether you're part of a community, managing a page, or just sharing from your personal profile — you can now create interactive polls and get instant feedback from your audience.
🔥 Why Polls?
Polls are a powerful way to spark conversation, gather opinions, and make decisions together. Whether you're:
-
Asking your followers to choose the next book for your community’s book club
-
Letting subscribers decide what content you should create next
-
Hosting a fun “this or that” game on your page
Polls give your audience a chance to interact — and make their voices count.
🛠️ How It Works
Creating and participating in polls is seamless and integrated right into the experience you're already used to. Here’s a quick breakdown:
✅ Creating a Poll
When you go to make a new post, simply choose the Poll option. You’ll be able to:
-
Write your question or topic (up to 255 characters)
-
Add 2 to 10 options for users to choose from
-
Set the poll duration (from as short as 5 minutes to several days)
-
Choose where the poll should appear: on your profile, in a Community, or on your Page
-
Optionally limit access to subscribers only (for page owners)
You can even tag other users or use hashtags and coin symbols (#hashtag or $BTC), just like regular posts!
📅 Duration & Expiry
Every poll has a timer — once it ends, users can no longer vote. So if you see a poll you care about, make sure to vote before it expires!
🗳️ Voting in a Poll
Voting is just a click away. Users can:
-
Select their preferred option
-
Submit their vote instantly
-
See updated results in real-time after voting
To keep things fair and transparent:
-
You can only vote once per poll
-
You must be logged in
-
You can only vote on polls that haven’t expired
If a poll is already closed or you’ve already voted, the system will let you know.
🔔 Smart Notifications
We’ve made sure that polls are more than just content — they’re a way to drive meaningful interaction. When a poll is created:
-
Followers and subscribers get notified
-
Mentions inside poll content will alert the tagged users
-
Community and page members are kept in the loop through their activity feeds
This ensures that everyone stays engaged and no exciting conversation goes unnoticed.
👥 Who Can Create Polls?
Everyone! Whether you're a casual user or a page owner, you can use the poll feature to:
-
Learn from your audience
-
Build better relationships
-
Make content more dynamic and interactive
But here’s the twist:
-
Community polls can only be created by members of that community
-
Page polls can be limited to only premium subscribers if you choose
🎯 Use Polls Creatively!
Here are a few fun ideas to try:
-
🧠 Quizzes with a twist (just don’t reveal the answer!)
-
🔮 Predictions for events (e.g. “Who will win the final?”)
-
📦 Product feedback or feature requests
-
🎨 Let your followers help you choose a design, color, or logo
-
📅 Vote on your next livestream or content topic
🧩 Seamlessly Integrated with Everything
Polls work just like other posts — meaning:
-
You can still use mentions and hashtags
-
They show up in feeds and can trend
-
You get all the usual analytics (views, engagements)
-
They help keep your content fresh and your audience engaged
