Thank you so much for trying out Community Kudos! We’ve made some changes and have some more in the pipeline, so figured it was a good time for an update. As a reminder, our program overview is here. Our update #1 is here.
I'll start with some known issues:
- You cannot see why someone gave you kudos. We are working on a profile update that will address this, see below for more.
- Articles published in groups do not count as articles towards some badges. We're working on an update here.
- Lots to Like is inconsistent. Likes only count on parent posts, not comments.
- Not all badges have links. We want to make sure we have links where possible. There was a bug preventing us from updating this. The bug has been fixed, we just need to go in and update it!
- Harvest confusion. The recognition module gets very confused when someone breaks through the top level, causing various errors. At one point it looked like people were no longer accruing points. We've released a special commemorative badge you earn at Level 11, and are working to fix the UI.
- Searching for people is clunky and cannot handle spaces or special characters. As a workaround for now, enter the last name and scroll.
We've also fixed a bunch of things that it's hard to keep track of, including this weird experience, this typo, and more. Anything still look off? Let us know in the comments.
Coming soon:
We're building a dedicated tab on the profile for kudos. 🎉 This will solve a few problems that we are very excited about solving! The big ones:
You can give kudos directly on the profile. This will avoid the currently clunky search experience, and also encourage folks to check out each other's profiles!
You can see why you got kudos. Here is where you can find a feed of who gave you kudos and why. On the profiles of others, you can see what they have been appreciated for! And the design even includes an aggregate count of how many kudos you've gotten in each category.
You can see a list of all your completed challenges: This will include how you earned them and be similar to our current trophy case on the "Badges" tab.
And because y'all are special, I will show you @Erika Nunotani design in progress!

This is still a work in progress and will not ship for 3-4 weeks. But we're excited!
Questions about anything? Drop them in the comments. Ideas for new challenges? There's a post for that. Any other feedback? Let's hear it. And thanks once again for participating in our kudos beta program!
