- I thought the best way to respond to [this answer](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285414/285416#answer-285416) would be with a sketch.
- The answer raises a few key points:
- - Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose.
- - Show me where there's new stuff I should know about.
- - Compactly.
- For the "list of communities" part of the network profile, I was imagining something like this:
- 
- Each community in the list shows the following info:
- - Logo and name: drag up or down to re-order communities in your list.
- - Reputation: tooltip shows when you last received a vote, and the number is a link to the Vote Summary tab on the profile on that community.
- - Number of top-level posts (in all categories): probably needs a better label, but it's not just questions because there are also articles and there could be others.
- - Number of answers: even if there are other types of posts that are not top-level posts in the future, I think it's ok to lump them in here.
- - For the owner only: the "silver dot" indicator like you see in the category list or on the dashboard, and the tooltip indicates which categories have new activity since you last visited. I'm assuming that since we compute this for the category list already, it's not arduous to compute and show here.
- - (Edited to add:) For the owner only: number of pending notifications from that community. (Not shown in the sketch.) We don't have anything to link to yet for community-specific notifications, but at least this tells you what's waiting in your global inbox.
- - For the owner only: number of flags raised (link to your flags page), with some visible indicator if there are new responses to your flags. We don't currently indicate new responses anywhere (you have to know to go look), so I don't know if this is hard. I'm including flags here as an extra reminder of/affordance for "whatever happened to that flag I raised?".
This question is about the network profile, but perhaps we could also order the communities in the drop-down switcher to match the order on the profile -- you chose that order once, probably for a reason, so perhaps we can be consistent.

- **Update 2024-10-02:** We've added a *very basic* version of this to the profile page. The "All Communities" tab links to all profiles the user has on the network, and shows the number of posts, reputation, and whether the user is a moderator there. No user-sensitive information is shown yet (like your new activity or flag information), and it's just a table not a reorderable list. This is version 1, which we want to make a lot better in the future.
