The poll is multi-answer and this looks like AkkomaGang/akkoma#485 (comment)
The third party client likely just incorrectly uses
vote_countfor 100% normalisation instead ofvoters_countfor multiple-anser polls. While this avoids> 100%numbers, it also isn’t correct. The frontend already has a partial workaround for this bug; when nobody locally voted it will fallback tovote_count. It’s possible thevoters_countmay be reset once the poll concludes, which would then also avoid those overly large numbers.There’s nothing more we can do in the frontend (always using
vote_countis not preferable).@Oneric wrote in #484 (comment):
it doesn't seems to get it even after it got concluded, so i guess i will keep on using the votes_count, although it's technically wrong, but that's one way to not confuse users.
Just finished testing and checked. it seems that the problem is on akkoma-be itself probably due to not processing external votes,
but did external votes gets broadcasted across voter's instances? because if not, i think it's best to stick withit is and other mastodon servers can parse it.votes_countfor now than leaving users confused and then stuck on the same deadend for preventing the 100% normalization on multi-answer poll, unless alternative way was found.the partial workaround is here, it will only work when there's no local voter and the problem shows up the moment the local voter vote. if that's the case, then why not usevotes_countat this point?either way, this is a backend bug as i just learned today.
edit: the
voters_countis still only counting for local votes even after the remote poll has ended, so i do not think this works against remote polls:
