If you're posting a poll through a Mastodon server's website interface, you can switch between "one answer allowed" and "multiple answers allowed" by clicking the circles next to the answers. When clicked they turn into squares, when clicked again they turn back into circles.

⚫ Circles mean only one answer is allowed, and is the default.

◼️ Squares mean multiple answers are allowed.

(Apps will have their own interface for switching between these options.)

@scott

Yeah, the various apps do it differently.

I don't know why the web interface does it like this, most people don't notice this is even an option.

@scott @feditips lol it's just the windows xp radio buttons and checkmark buttons, that's what each one of them does

@Televise @feditips no, radio vs checkmarks is fine, but clicking the button to toggle between them in the status creation dialog
