Not even Reddit allowed people to directly participate in surveys within the clients.
Is the feature making really small text in memes so its super hard to read?

Piefed's api is surpassing that of Lemmy's.
Why does Lemmy development seem to be so slow? Is it that marxism-leninism just takes more time to sink in?
Rust vs. python might be part of it since python is basically designed to be quick to write. However, the lemmy devs, to their credit, are extremely thorough. They make sure that any feature they implement is fully available in the UI, the API, and has tests written for it.
For piefed, we test stuff as we work on it...but there isn't a formal test suite or anything like that. And, as evidenced by this post, many new features only show up in the web ui and may get added to the api later, time/effort depending. This is something we have been trying to get better at, adding features to both the web ui and the api at the same time, but it is more work so it goes slower.
They've been gearing up for the 1.0 release for a while. Big changes have been happening they just haven't released yet.
Polls are an open issue that the devs have said they'd love a PR for.
My guess is because Lemmy is written in Rust, so comparatively less people can contribute
But we don't have as many contributors as lemmy does. So the main factors is that Python is easier to write.
Dunno why, i don't think it is worth our time to understand why nor pinning it to polical opinion is a good idea. And Lemmy devs are inspired by those ideas :)
Let's just enjoy its news features. Do you wanna do a poll on the best linux desktop ? Or Wayland vs Xorg ? :)

I didn't know what to expect, seems pretty on-theme
There is a lot of backend work happening for Lemmy 1.0, but due to tech-debt and some NIH issues, it does indeed develop at a slower pace right now.
Maybe the kremlin money have dried up for the tankie devs?
/s /j or maybe not
Sunshine waits for no one!
This commit is only ~6 hours old as of my writing this. Also, this is just the first step of adding polls to the api since it allows the api to view polls, but api clients cannot yet vote in polls. That will be the next step.
Poll voting added!
Let's not talk about Reddit anymore. Not after what they did. They made their choices and went on their own path, and that bond is permanently broken. We are not on speaking terms and will never get on speaking terms again. They are dead to us. ALL OF US.
They are dead to us but a lot of nice people are still there because they haven't heard about the Threadiverse
!fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com to try to help them
It is going to be the elephant in the room no matter we talk about it or not.
