There are two locations where displaying descriptions for categories could be extremely helpful:
- On the Category buttons when viewing a parent category
- In the Category selection area when creating a new topic
Our users often share with us that they don’t know what types of content should be posted within certain categories. We’ve created detailed descriptions and added What can I find in… posts to every category (thanks for the inspo on that one, ), but some of our categories aren't as intuitive as others when you only have the name to go off of.
I imagine that this could function very similarly to the help text that appears to define Question, Conversation, and Idea when creating a topic. This could be really helpful for us and our users!

^ here you could add an “i” icon so that users can hover to see the full description, or allow them to click a “+” to expand the card to show the description
