Polls are a simple but powerful way to involve your community in decisions. Whether you’re choosing between two event dates, asking for feedback on a new idea, or just running a fun question of the week, Apetopia makes it easy to create polls directly from the dashboard.

Tips

  • Keep poll options short and clear — long text gets cut off in Discord.
  • Set an end time for important decisions so results don’t drag on indefinitely.
  • Share the results with your community after the poll closes. It builds trust and shows you’re listening.
