A popular way of dealing with discussions, and familiar to most people, I assume. As far as I see it, adding a poll system to Lemmy is a good way to enhance user engagement. I'm not really aware if this has been a topic before or not, tried looking it up but didn't see much juice on the topic, so thought I'd spark it up.

Personally would like to see polls, but I'm sure there are people who don't want it too. Let me know your thoughts ๐ŸŒป

You could just block the communities and instances..?

There are communities with a mix of good content and meme spam

So you hate 99% of Lemmy then. Maybe stop using it?

[โ€“] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Lemmy is not 99% memes. I have most meme communities blocked and I never run out of posts on my feed

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

It's a huge percentage images. Which is what OP specifically mentioned wanting to turn off.

"I blocked all the memes and now there's no memes"

...okay

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

"I read what you wrote as a standalone comment instead of as a reply so I ignored all context"

...okay

If the person I replied to was correct in saying that 99% of Lemmy is memes and I have memes blocked, that would mean I am only seeing 1% of posts when I browse. I am saying that if that was true, I would run out of posts quite quickly and that has not been my experience at all. I'd wager it's much closer to 50% memes than 99%
