Community Forum
The Community Forum is the platform-wide discussion surface at /community — categorized posts, voting, reactions, replies, embedded project previews, fork & remix, and weekly showcases.
In depth
Six post types cover the full set of community workflows: discussion, showcase (with project embeds), help_request (with accepted-answer voting), template_request (with fulfilled-by linking), tip (with reading progress), and challenge (with deadlines).
Showcases get embedded mini-canvas previews; remix lets anyone copy a public project into their own workspace and credit the original.

Showcase Post
A showcase post is a community post that links a public project — it renders an embedded preview and exposes Use This / Remix actions for other users.
Help Request
A help request is a forum post type for asking the community a question — replies can be marked as the accepted answer, awarding the answerer a Helpful flair badge.
Voting & Reactions
Voting & reactions are the upvote/downvote and emoji-reaction systems on every post and reply — used to surface useful contributions and flag low-effort ones.
Author Flair
Author flair is the badge system that recognizes top community contributors — Template Creator, Helpful (accepted answers), Prolific, and others, displayed on every post.
Community Profile
A community profile is a public page for any user — handle, posts, templates, accepted answers, follower count, and flair badges.
