Boost for visibility

Hey, so I'm wanting to set up a public fedi microblogging instance and can't figure out which software I want to use
I'm familiar with managing Mastodon and GoToSocial, but am not particularly happy with Mastodon and feel GoToSocial may be a bit complicated for general users as there is no default front end (I still love you GTS)

I want something that

• is relatively lightweight (most *keys are likely too much)
• has good moderation features
• has a default front end

The way I'll be hosting it all gives me the options in the poll below

This would show the country or region your account was created from and where it's regularly accessed from.

Polls without an end date are much more common than I thought, apparently this is a default in Misskey. So here is an update of FEP-9967: Polls: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/706

Now endTime is optional:

Question objects MAY have an endTime property indicating the time when the poll ends.

I also added a sequence diagram. What's the best way of describing activities in such diagrams?

Did you know I built Polls into Stories when I originally released the feature 4 years ago, but at the last minute I decided against enabling Poll support because it wasn't polished enough?

While developing the initial version of the #polls for #ActivityPub #WordPress plugin, I so often got reminded to the preamble words of @gancio from @lesion

"Building software means taking a stand, making decisions, choices. These choices start from a precise look at reality, from specific needs and ends implementing specific features, choose default values, simplify some flow and patterns while making difficult others."

It's just a tiny poll plugin, but there are still decisions to be made: For example, when to reveal the poll vote counts, to whom, and when to reset the vote counts (e.g. when changing the type from single choice to multiple).

There are many flow patterns that I don't consider worth striving for. Please help me by leaving some comments on the scenarios you can imagine.
