Server Category Page Update & Ops Dashboard
Summary
CommunityOne Builders Help announces the new stable server category page with auto tag generation, announcement and forum previews, dynamic categories, and ongoing A/B UI tests. Backend improvements reduced RAM usage by 20% and emoji listing with bot delivery is in progress. Enterprise users get an upcoming Ops Dashboard to track issues and member needs.
Quick update on what's happening this week
- The new server category page is out and stable. Here are some new things:
- Don't worry about the tags. You can continue to tag your server, but based on your descriptions, announcements, and forums (if published), we will also generate more tags for you automatically so that you are not missed for relevant searches
- Show and tell. In addition to showing the server card, in category pages, we are also showing relevant announcements and forum content so that the user has a sense of what you actually talk about.
- Tags and categories are dynamic and grow over time horizontally and vertically.
- - If your server all of a sudden starts to talk a lot about Minecraft (but as a social server in general), you will get automatic Minecraft tags.
- - When we see tags show up often, we will automatically categorize them as a category and do more seo optimizations.
- A/B testing: there are still more UI improvements that we are working on right now via A/BA testing, but the general backend algo is stable!
We've seen our server listing page has a jump in traffic starting last week since the new updates. We will share more data when it comes to it.
Updates on other WIP:
- We've made good progress in terms of optimizing our backend. Site is still not up over 99% of the time, so still a bit work to do, but we are able to reduce RAM by 20% over the past week.
- This week, we are likely to work on emoji listing, allowing you to beam emojis from our site directly to your Discord via our bot, so that you dont have to manually download and upload things!
Enterprise
If you are on our enterprise tier, we are launching a new feature called Ops Dashboard to allow you to track issues and highlight members that need your help (and have been missed) live. It sorts of serves as a community co-pilot, please reach out if you are interested!
