The front page of the Internet, correctly called Reddit, has millions of curious and interesting users using the platform every day. There is no better platform to get authentic and original insights from everyone, thanks to anonymous usernames. The best way to do that is to take a poll on Reddit. We’ll show you how it works on the web, iPhone and Android apps.
Polls have always been an important aspect of Reddit. Did you know that there is a subreddit called r/Polls that has over 225k subscribers? Not only can you find tons of interesting and fun polls, but you can also get examples to create your own polls!
There are two ways you can conduct a poll on Reddit. You can use the built-in feature to create a poll, or use a third-party service to do the same. However, you should know that posting a poll in the subreddit always requires the approval of a moderator. That said, let’s start with creating a poll on a Reddit post.
