Hey everyone. I’ve been missing polls on Bluesky for a while and got curious about how to make it work. So, I put together a little tool called blueskypolls.xyz as a workaround that lets you create polls for your posts. It’s not perfect, but it gets the job done!

Here’s how it works:

• You can create polls with multiple options

• You can also create polls as a reply to a post

• It even supports custom emojis if you want to make things a bit more fun

• You can also setup a poll end date

• You can see results of each of your polls with some beautiful graphs

One thing to note: the tool requires your an app password to work, not your main account password. App passwords are specifically for connecting third-party tools and can be managed in your Bluesky account settings. It’s a safer way to use tools like this without sharing your main password.

If you’ve been wishing for polls on Bluesky, this might be something you’d find useful. I’d love to hear your thoughts or if there’s something you think could make it better.
