- mattowen_uk 5y agoI can't recall the last time I saw someone use that on HN. I'm pretty sure most people don't know it exists.
- rapnie 5y agoWould be interesting to know how it compares in user base and exposure. The fediverse poll lasted 1 day and gained 268 votes and with only 31 boosts (i.e. "retweets" in fediverse terminology). How many people saw the poll is hard to tell and depends too on the social graph from author and boosters, as well as the network of federated instances involved. When posting a poll on HN, it of course has to reach the minimum number of upvotes to reach front page (which I believe for Polls and Ask HN is a bit higher than regular submissions).
