I’d love to see the feed of recently awarded/earned badges integrated with the main activity feed widgets.
And in addition to that, enable the ability for others to Like that update in the feed and comment to congratulate their fellow community members.
This is likely quite dependent on each community’s gamification strategy, so it’d be ideal to offer an on/off toggle. Perhaps even a toggle on each badge (like with the private message automation toggle) so that communities could choose which badges they want to show in the feed
Use Cases:
- Certification Badges
- Top contributor badges
- Key accomplishments (onboarding milestones, speaking on events, volunteer or advocate roles, customer go lives)
Key benefits:
- Promoting peer-to-peer relationships and encouragement
- Increased visibility and significance of the badges if it
Think of it as unlocking a public and community-wide version of the option to message the user when they get a badge. The tactic is nice from the community team, but this would allow community-wide reinforcement and congratulations.
This is absolutely inspired by of some key Linkedin and social media behaviors. I personally think there’s a lot of value Insided could unlock by enabling each community to be a niche Linkedin-esque community specific to that focus.
