Learn more about the Top Contributors section of your home feed

Written by Rodrigo

The top contributors section shows up on your home feed and space pages, displaying the most engaged people in your community.

Overview

Top Contributors is a section in your community highlights that shows the most active members in your community.

It lists the top 5 contributors, based on the number of posts, comments, and reactions.

It helps encourage participation by giving members visibility for their activity, while also making it easy for you to see who your most engaged members are at a glance.

Top contributors are ranked based on how much they interact with your community. The main factors (from most to least weight) are:

  • Posts created

  • Comments on posts

  • Reactions to posts

The more members engage with your content, the higher they’ll appear in this section.

Sorting Top Contributors

You can sort Top Contributors by:

  • Week

  • Month

  • All time

To do that, click on the Filter option next to the Top Contributors section and select the period you'd like to view from the dropdown menu:
