Conversation

Friendly reminder to folks on Fedi: the engagement *you* see on a post might not be the engagement the *poster* sees.

Take my silly polls, for instance. I occasionally see comments saying "you'd have more responses if it said [variable]".

Those commenters probably can't see the responses, so they assume few are responding.

My last poll has over 1200 responses, but federation might not show *you* all of them. And that's OK! But don't assume what you see is what others see here.
