I've decided on No in their current form.

Not saying dashboards are bad, just not a replacement for groups (for now).

Can't see who's a "member", no mods/admins thus no sense of a micro-community.

Only 1 post, no comments. Adding questions is so tedious it's borderline useless for most things and you can't "link" it with a tag for "auto-adding".

don't @ me

How would this resolve if Dashboards fulfill the role you're looking for?

Do they have leaderboards?

@Joshua no, tags do, so if you want to make a tournament you'll have to use both a tag and a dashboard

@ian sounds like these dashboards would fulfill the description criteria

description page for Groups/Categories/Tags/Topics(??)

thus i don't care how you call them for many names have been used

@nickten To be clear they will be separate features, afaict dashboards won't directly support tags, so you'll have to combine tags and dashboards to achieve the tournament experience

I'm also not clear on how markets will link back to dashboards, yet.

I was wondering this.

I imagine if you're making a market for a tournament, you might now need to put a link to the tournament dashboard in the description? Would that count @nickten ?

@Joshua I'm not sure if they'll start out with backlinks but I imagine that's a planned feature

@Joshua yeah i'm pretty sure that would count. We'll see what these dashboards look like. I guess this market is now just betting on whether my needs will be satisfied

therefore i will not bet

Hey do they count?

@Joshua good question. no mods/admins, tags for leaderboards separate, no posts other than the sidebar thingy.... I guess i'm leaning towards reluctantly accepting this as a replacement for groups, but i'd like to see people actually use them.

i'm waiting on the daily stocks people, poker people and some others to see if they start using them. also if manifold adds more things to dashboards.

i dunno this is a dumb market don't bet on it 🤷

Wait, that got removed??? Why???

@evergreenemily It's helpful to have a 'tag' primitive and something more customizable. Topics/groups are just tags now and @IngaWei is building dashboards to handle the more customizable, feature rich use cases for groups

@ian Ah, makes sense. I've been excited for the dashboards for a while.
