RE: Intended for TradFi Community Members Only - Please See HIVE Dev Community Post

A leaderboard as in a ranking of users by points? A user would get points for posts and comments in the community, I assume? That's an interesting idea, but it runs up against what exactly would it mean to post in a community? Most communities set a number of tags, and it seems like many of the posts are not actually posted in the community but are shared with multiple communities by using their tags. So in that way, I might write one of my haiku posts and post it in my community, Blockchain Poets, but then using tags I can also "post" it in The Pub, the Japan community, the other poetry community, and so on. Would I get points and appear on the leaderboard of all these communities, or only in the main one I posted to?

I would guess everywhere you post would be included.

I was thinking the leaderboard would be more metric based as opposed to points.

E.g. this community has an average post payout of X rewards per post. Or, this community has this amount of engagement (maybe that’s a metric like total comments and total reply's).

I think automated comments would distort a social metric but I would rather have a starting point vs coming up with the perfect solution is that makes sense.

I think the 2 big questions are, what makes some communities “better” than others? What are some metrics we can use to articulate that?
