What gives points in the leaderboard?

I've launched my Fluent Community and I have my first 3 paying members at $33/mo! 🎉 We're doing a Community Builder Challenge, where the top 6 people on the leaderboard will get some juicy prizes from me.

Which activities give points on the leaderboard? Creating a post? Commenting? Likes on a post you create?

I want to understand so I can let the members know, and so I know for myself.

Also, throwing my vote in to the voices requesting that the "Level 1" badge not show on community owners' profiles. Thank you!

According to this page (https://fluentcommunity.co/docs/leaderboard-overview-and-management/) users get a point for every like on their posts and comments. It doesn't mention any other activities that get points.

Thomas Oates ah ok. I wish it also counted likes of someone’s comment. That means this only incentivizes asking questions or making posts — not helping others by answering their questions or engaging in the comments.

Kaneisha G. I think it does - if you like my comment now I'll get a point

Someone once mentioned gamipress.com if you wish to gamify your site. And they support fluent products.

I previously used EasySocial, which was the best product I've ever used for building custom social networks. It was far more powerful and feature-rich than any competitor I tried and it could also be customized for creating a course as well. Unfortunately, after the company ran into issues and was acquired, product development and support declined significantly. That said, EasySocial had excellent features around points, badges, and achievements that I believe would be a valuable addition to FluentCommunity. Here are some of it;

🎮 Gamification Overview

Enable users to track their engagement through a dynamic points system, with visibility into how specific actions contribute to point gains or losses across the platform.

🧮 Points System

Implement an internal mechanism where users earn or lose points based on defined interactions or behaviors within the community.

🏅 Achievements & Badges

Allow users to unlock badges by completing specific milestones. These badges are displayed on their profile and can be expanded by meeting additional criteria.

🛠️ Badge Assignment

Provide administrators with backend tools to bulk assign badges to selected users, streamlining recognition and rewards.

⚙️ Admin Configuration

Grant site owners the ability to configure and manage the points system directly from the backend, including rules, thresholds, and reward logic.

📰 Activity Feed Integration

Display user achievements, earned badges, and point updates in the community newsfeed to encourage engagement and celebrate milestones.
