would creating a poll still make it possible for replys and responses?I am member of the German location based group, but hardly anything interesting happens there. It's mostly redundant, since there is also a German language sub-forum on the main page and a Germany sub-forum for Personal Ads & Meetups.
By the way, if you want to satisfy a statistical interest, creating a poll may be useful.
I have but have noticed most are quite quiet in fairnessYes, replies are possible in poll topics, too.
But it's also cool if you're interested in reading about experiences in more detail only.
Did you join any groups yet?
That is honestly fairs and is more safer. just hopeful that the group features are better utilisedNo not really. I prefer PMs with people I trust here.
