Podia’s community features come with lots of amazing features to help with member interaction and one of these is our badge system!
What is the badge system?
Badges are a great way to build member interaction and engagement with community members.
They are automatically applied to members based on their permissions and account age.
This is a system that can increase member retention and also build trust between members of your community.
This is how badges currently look like:
