Mastodon Poll in ActivityPub
Published on
I started running my own ActivityPub instance with Takahē.
I got interested in contributing to the project and one of my first implemented features was the poll support.
While implementing it I noticed that the informations about this topic were scattered throughout multiple places.
So, for me to remember how it works, and maybe to help someone looking for the same information I decided to write this article.
Poll or Question? How ActivityPub handles it?
The first thing we need to know is that ActivityPub does not support Poll as a native type in it’s protocol definition.
