Welcome to Loomio, an online place for communicating and making decisions.
In case you haven't read the group introduction go back and read that 馃槑 but I will also put the Code of Conduct here as well.
This is an example discussion thread. You can add comments below. Threads are for discussing topics and getting clear outcomes. This thread is about how Loomio works, so post questions about that here.
You are currently reading the thread context, which can be kept up to date with key information and questions that help people engage.

Drag and drop pictures and attachments or click the paperclip icon
See 5 ways to use threads for some ideas and tips
If you have any questions, see Loomio Help.
It might also be useful to see an example of an active Loomio group that actively uses consensus based decision making: in this case check this the social.coop group out. A toy example of using Loomio to made a decision about a shared resource can be seen here in the members subgroup (must be a member to view).
Please also see the attached presentation on Using Loomio to engage with Biotech Without Borders. At the Biosummit 6.0 I updated this presentation somewhat for a general audience incorporating the concept of getting paid via Open Collective and you can find that here. My rationale about using these two tools was also delivered at Biosummit 6.0 and I will link that presentation in the thread about software choices at the bottom of the context before the table.

one frustrating thing about loomio - I don't see an easy way to activate notifications for all activity, or all activity within a channel, or something, and especially for some of the people in the organization, it's going to be important to be able to easily keep on track of everything that has updates without clicking into each thing, considering loomio's more specialized role as decision making software.

@chirag raval It's not clear to me what your poll is about. I understand just wanting to try out a feature, but the question about "Was this Efficient" I do not understand.

No worries. The thread is for people to play around to get a sense of the tool. Just keep in mind that you triggered an email notification to all the people on the thread. Maybe edit your question to be more descriptive so people who read it don't think it's some sort of spammy message.

I cannot make any edits so if anyone is wondering that is what I can tell. Also is the goal a resounding YES here? I would think it is.

Try the 3 dots. If that doesn't work i guess it's a good to know that non-admins can't edit polls. You should be able to edit your comments though.

@Yuriy Fazylov you asked about reactions and replies. This section of the help doc might help clarify. Replying to this comment will notify me and I can answer any related questions.
