# Leaderboard

# Celebrating Community Engagement

The Shopware Community Hub features a leaderboard that recognizes and celebrates active community members. At its core, the leaderboard focuses on experience points (XP) earned this month, creating a fresh competition cycle that gives everyone regular opportunities to shine and be recognized for their contributions.

By highlighting monthly activity rather than all-time totals, the leaderboard creates an accessible recognition system that lets newcomers quickly gain visibility alongside established community veterans. This approach fosters a vibrant community where consistent, recent engagement is valued and celebrated.

While the default view showcases the current month's activity, the leaderboard offers flexible filtering options to view community engagement through different lenses. You can adjust filters to see all-time leaders or examine other time frames.

The primary purpose of the leaderboard isn't just to create healthy competition: it's to celebrate and recognize those who actively strengthen our community through their participation and knowledge sharing. By making community contributions visible, the leaderboard helps members identify experts and active contributors they might want to follow or connect with.

## Best Practices for Sustainable Engagement

While the leaderboard celebrates active participation, the most successful community members focus on balanced, sustainable engagement rather than short-term point accumulation. Regular, consistent participation generally proves more valuable than intense but sporadic bursts of activity, both for your leaderboard standing and for your integration into the community.

Playing to your strengths often yields the best results. By focusing on areas where you have particular expertise or interest, such as sharing technical knowledge, supporting newcomers, creating educational content, or fostering connections, you'll make more valuable contributions and likely earn more recognition as a result.

Remember that the leaderboard measures quantity and variety of engagement, but the community truly values quality. Thoughtful, helpful contributions that genuinely advance the conversation or solve problems will earn you respect beyond what the points system can measure. The most successful community members focus on creating value first, with leaderboard recognition following naturally from those efforts.

## Next Steps

Now that you understand how the leaderboard celebrates community engagement, let's explore community events. Events provide another important way to engage with the community and create meaningful connections through shared experiences.
