netscapenavigator@social.vivaldi.net@social.vivaldi.net⚠️ Sharkey is no longer compatible with Mastodon and Misskey.⚠️
As a fork of Misskey, Sharkey hasn't been keeping up with recent updates to either Misskey or Mastodon. Because of this, people using newer versions of Mastodon and Misskey can no longer vote in polls hosted on Sharkey sites.
The current version of Mastodon is 4.6.3 and the current version of Misskey is 2026.7.0-beta.4
If your Fedi site is running an older version of Mastodon or Misskey, you may still be able to interact with Sharkey. However, that’s only because your instance is also behind on the current codebase.
The current stable version of Sharkey is 2025.4.7. This issue was also verified against the developer build (Sharkey 2025.5.2-dev), meaning even upgrading to the developer branch won't resolve it.

I'm sure they'll say, no. The Sharkey Development team historically likes to downplay and put a spin on everything.
However, posting polls that only will work with other Sharkey sites or older copies of Mastodon and Misskey, doesn't give a good imagine.
That said, as it stands now, Sharkey is a small fish in a large ocean, and it doesn't play well with others. Fix it, don't fix it — their call. But it would seem pretty stupid to try to be an island unto yourself when the whole point of the Fediverse is to unite. 🤷
