Polls can be easily created using reactions in the community.
How to Create a Poll Using Reactions:
1. Write a Post: Create a new post in the community, where you clearly state the question or the topic for the poll.
2. Define Options: List the different choices under your post. You can assign each option a relevant emoji to make the polling process clear and easy to follow.
3. Ask Participants to Vote: Add an instruction telling community members to vote by reacting with the emoji that corresponds to their choice. In the example, 🌊 stands for the option “Tuesdays 3-4 PM” and 🌋 for “Wednesdays 3-4 PM.”
4. Count Reactions as Votes: Once members have reacted with their chosen emoji, you can count the reactions to determine the poll results.
Advantages of This Method:
• Quick and Simple: No additional features are needed. Everything can be managed through standard reactions.
• Visually Engaging: Using emojis makes the poll more fun and user-friendly.
• Real-Time Results: You can count the reactions at any time to see the current poll results immediately.
This method offers a flexible and easy way to quickly gather opinions within your community, without needing any extra tools. It works particularly well for informal polls and simple decision-making.
