A leaderboard that highlights top contributors (based on posts, comments, or participation) would be a fun way to encourage community members to engage more. Recognition goes a long way in building active, vibrant spaces. Even something simple like monthly badges or a “Top 5 Engagers” section could motivate people to be more present and supportive within the community

We're losing new members in the onboarding process, and it's a huge problem. People are dropping off after entering their email, even with all the instructions and follow-up emails (AND abandoned link workflow active). The current multi-step process is too cumbersome. We need a simple, single-step solution. Can we change the flow so a new member only needs to enter their email to join? All other profile information, including the onboarding questions, can be requested later via an email invitation. This will drastically reduce friction and get more people into the community.

Similar to HB main community updated Terms of Service pop-up that prevents users from proceeding if they do not agree to the updated TOS, can that feature be added to Communities across the board when we update the TOS for our communities and need members to agree to them?

Way too much padding shrinks the screen size on upsell and product pages

I would like to see non-competitive forms of gamification. In other words, gamification that encourages an individual to keep participating and progressing, but not as compared to others. Points that can be traded in for rewards, stars or other visual ability to see your progress, being able to "level up" based on participation or course completion, bingo boards, etc.

I've received member feedback that the grey color of sidebar links that are not selected looks more like a "dead link" than an unselected condition. Can we explore darkening the greyed-out color a bit, or making its hex code another customizable variable?

Similar to the Bible app or Snapchat, having daily streaks is an incentive for people to engage with the community daily. This could limit inactive users and even go a step further depending on what is required to continue to streak: i.e. logging in, posting, commenting, etc. Membership levels are another great incentive- less subtle as it's something other members should be able to see as an encouragement to 'level up'.

I want to be able to choose which community I want to jump into, instead of it defaulting to open to the first community on the list. I want to be able to choose which community I want to open. AND, I want to be able to reorder the list so only my current focused ones are on the top. Or a way to FAV communities to pin them to the top of the list. This is super frustrating.

If text is uneditable, we'd like to be able to automatically have that text translated into the community / local language (ex: German, Spanish, French, etc.)
