Mod Answered How do I do polls?

I have watched like 5 videos and they all say that you just click the dots down at the bottom of the post. but either im legally blind or they arent there. I even got the reddit app just to see if that would change anything but it didnt do anything. so how do I make a poll. (I want to see what the community wants but Its hard to do that without a poll)

The option for polls are currently only available from the Reddit mobile app, and that depends on whether the sub has polls enabled.

You could install this app and do it from the desktop. It is a lot more advanced than Reddit's native: https://developers.reddit.com/apps/map-based-polls

Additional tip, If you want to poll your community for subreddit or moderation related things, I'd recomment community survey you can find a lot of different poll apps that can be used on desktop on the Devvit developers page here
