As you might have noticed earlier today, I accidentally reset the poll from yesterday 😳
So, here's a warning for poll creators:
If you edit a Mastodon poll, changing the options at all will reset the poll to zero, even if people have already voted on it. It will do this automatically without warning, so only edit options if you're okay with resetting the poll.

As well as Mastodon's built-in hashtag following system, you can also follow hashtags through RSS instead:
1. Search for a hashtag on a Mastodon server's website
2. Add .rss to the end of the URL
3. Use this URL as the feed address for that tag
For example to subscribe to #Dogs on mstdn.social you would use this address in your feed reader:
