It would be especially nice to hear from new people and people who aren't confident about technical matters. There is absolutely no such thing as a silly question!

This seems like a trivial problem, but it's something I've been wondering about.I used to get notifications that "a poll you voted in has ended". Since the beginning of September, those notifications have stopped happening.
In most cases, I don't care, when it was just a silly passing poll. But there is one series of polls that I really want notifications for. It's a serialized story, in which participants vote for what they want to happen in the next installment. Since the notifications stopped coming, I've missed several installments when I wasn't aware the previous one was done.
In Notification settings, I have Poll Results checked, along with everything else, and everything else is sending notifications EXCEPT Poll Results. Is there a way to get the poll notifications back?

Thank you, this is kind.
As it happens, this came up the other day.
How can one find out who owns and who controls

Is there a way to use "post templates" or otherwise simplify posting similar content? Example use case: a user regularly posts their art, and they always use a certain combination of tags in such a post. Is there a way to start with a draft with these tags already inserted?

There's not any official template system on the official interface or official app, but there may be a third party app somewhere that supports them.
A workaround for this might be copy-pasting the previous similar post and adjusting it to show the new content. If you frequently copy particular posts, bookmark them for easier reference.

Hmm... that's weird. Could you try it with a poll made by a different account?
If you've definitely got it switched on it should be working, sounds like some sort of bug?
I've had poll ending notifications within the last three days, so the software definitely supports it. Maybe something related to your server, or about the account that did the poll?
