Description

Imma make it short;

I want add a Reaction to my EmbedMessage. This kinda seems like not possible, while Message.addReaction for a Message Object exists, there’s no similair method for EmbedMessage.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, and there actually is a way to do this, sorry then.

You don’t create entities like that in JDA. You either get them from the library itself or use builders. Also, all of the Collections that JDA provides are immutable. In your example, you could send the MessageEmbed directly and then use the callback in queue to access the actual Message object. E.g.:

e.getTextChannel().sendMessage(EMBED.POLL(argsString, member)).queue((msg) -> {
   // here you can use the Message object
});

For questions like this you should join the official Discord server and ask there since the issues are the place for feature requests and bug reports.

Also to note: You cannot add reactions to a message before it has been sent, so the way that @JohnnyJayJay has proposed for interacting is a valid way for doing that.
