How does it work?
Creating a Poll
Creating a poll is EASY.
- Simply navigate to the Polls feature under Tools on HiveHub,
- then click on the
Create a New Pollbutton. - After that, the Create a New Poll window will pop-up, then you simply have to fill out the input fields with the corresponding information.
It's that simple!
You will also be given an option to Customize Hive post content. From here, you have a couple of options to choose from to customize the poll to your own liking such as Thumbnail URL, Community, and Tags.
Viewing other Polls
Navigating through the Polls interface is quite straightforward. You can see all the polls created by the Hive community once you go to the Polls UI on HiveHub.
From there, you will also have an option to sort the list by clicking on the column headers (e.g. by Creation Date, End Date, Total Votes).
FILTERS
If you want to see the polls based on specific criteria such as Post Title, Poll Question, Post Author, and Author, you can use the Filter functionality as shown in the example below.
This should help you easily see polls that are more relevant to you, especially when there are already a lot of polls created by the Hive community!
VIEWING SPECIFIC POLLS
Want to see more details about a specific poll? Of course you can!
If you want to see more details about a specific poll, you simply have to click on the Question for that poll, and then a new window will load containing more information such as the current votes, tags, and additional information.
The example below is for a test poll about phone brands used. As you can see, an analytics of the voting and results is shown upon clicking of the poll question, as well as the tags and additional information.
Time to start voting!
Whether it is to create a poll for your own community or for the entire Hive community, the choice is up to you! (Or you can also make a poll to make that choice 😉). This is the time to have fun with this new tool for improved engagement, decision making, getting feedback that the Peak Open Projects team has created for the Hive community.
Head over to Polls on HiveHub and start creating your first poll today! Don't forget to share your thoughts, ideas, and, of course, your votes with the rest of the community. We are looking forward to see the creative polls you come up with.

sneek peek from a project i`m working on, just remember that i choose it as my fav frontend on my config.json file.
voted few! looks like its working just fine!
great job. and hope to see more
It's good to see that you are working with other front ends. I know InLeo have their own polls, so perhaps that can be integrated too. Polls are a neat way to collect data. I see them used a lot on Mastodon.
totally agree! i love pools
It was great that I was part of the new updates of Hive. It is a great thing for me, cause it happened now that I'm already part of the platform, and I would say, I'm now a senior to the newcomers. 🤣 Thanks.
