The right-hand menu shows Community highlights, which include important information and helpful resources.
This section helps members find useful links, see who’s active, and stay connected beyond the main feed.
You can customize parts of this panel to highlight information that’s important to your members and your business.
In this article, you'll learn more about Community Highlights.
Community Highlights
Here are all of the items you can find in the Community Highlights area:
Discord Community
If you have an external Discord community connected to your Podia account, it will appear on the home feed for members who have access to it.
For example, if Discord access is included with a product, members who have that product will see a Discord banner on their home feed, which they can click to join your Discord community.
Recents
For members who have access to products, a Recents section will appear, showing the last 3 products they accessed.
This makes it easy for them to quickly return to the products they use most, directly from their home feed.
Upcoming Events
If you’ve created events, they’ll appear here as the upcoming events in your account. This gives members a quick way to see what’s coming up next and easily access the events they’re interested in.
This section displays all of your upcoming public events. Hidden events will only appear for members who have already registered for them.
Top contributors
Top contributors show a list of your most engaged members. This will help you and other members see who is most active in the community and also act as a way to engage them more.
We take into consideration the number of posts, comments, and reactions to calculate the Top contributors. You can read more about Top contributors here.
Custom Links
Custom links let you add quick-access links to your home feed, helping members easily find what matters most.
You can link to pages on your site, external resources, social profiles, or even highlight special offers like coupons and promotions. This makes it easier to guide members to important content and keep everything they need just one click away.
