What changes would you like to see in communities ?

Hey all, first of all I want to apologize for the mass mention. I don't really have a better way to reach many of you, and I wanted to get some eyes on this. If you were tagged, it's because you are either a mod or an admin in one or more of the top 50 communities.

What changes would you like to see in communities ?

The title of the post kind of says it all: I've been doing a bunch of development on Hivemind and I'm looking to hear your thoughts as community managers on what you want to see in communities. If you have feature requests already, that's great. I will look into potentially implementing them. (Potentially because there's always limitations and some things would be too heavy on node operators.)

Here's some things I am thinking about to give you an idea:

Leaderboards:

Top contributors by rewards, posts, engagement
Time-based rankings (weekly/monthly/all-time)

Community Events/Calendar:

Schedule community events, AMAs, contests
Notifications for upcoming events

Moderation Log/Audit Trail:

Track all mod actions (who muted what, when, why)
Public transparency log for community members

Community "global" tag/niche system:
A system where each community can tag themselves in a broader niche like "finance" "food" photography" and so users can view a feed with posts from all those communities mixed together to help with content discovery.

If you don't really have feature ideas, I am also interested in hearing about your experience as community mods/admins. What are your pain points? What's frustrating to do, what are your biggest time sinks? What would help you make your community more vibrant/improve content ? What are things that you think work well? Can be as simple as "I have a hard time reviewing accounts to decide if I should mute them or not."

Also, I guess while I have your attention, you may not be aware of some recent (or not so recent) updates, so here's a quick recap of the most impactful:

New community types

With this update, you will be able to specify a community type.

A community type defines how users can interact in the community:

Right now all communities are type 1, aka a Topic. In a topic community, anyone can post or comment.

We are introducing two new community types:

Community type 2, aka Journal, where everyone can comment but only members can post.
Community type 3, aka Council, where only members can comment or post.

The goal is for us to empower community owners to fine-tune who can post or comment in a hands-off fashion. This enables them to create paid communities, enforce quality by vetting quality writers, or whatever else.

Everything works with the same custom_json API, meaning that it's easy to integrate in your app calls to leverage this functionality (e.g., if you hold X NFT you will be a member, but if you sell the NFT you are no longer part of the community).

New notifications

New community-related notifications. This is most important for mutes. I realized that when a mod/admin fills this form, the mute reason never made its way back to the user.
