What are the best ways to use gamification to drive engagement in a community?

I think people like a general "Thank you" and want to participate if they get alerts for relevant conversations.
Score keeping - I think works for mid-level engaged users. Not for people who haven't started or are already highly engaged.
Recognition between peers is good. I should be able to see them see me. Easily happens when you call someone on stage in offline mode. Not sure about online.
Multiple reasons are given for this technology craze.
Badges, leaderboard, recognition, loyalty points, groups (custom built for business usecase), reward system
In a way, we are addicted to dopamine hits and are using our phones to satisfy our constant need for instant gratification. That is partially correct, although other neurotransmitters such as oxytocin, serotonin and endorphins also come into play when implementing gamification in your employee or customer engagement strategies.
In regards to engagement, people get motivated with Extrinsic motivation - where we are motivated to do something because of the external reward. Extrinsic motivators are often established through gamification as points, milestones, achievements, rewards or notifications
Gamification in a community is a proven method to add to customer engagement strategies and deliver results. Using gamification for apps can increase usage and adoption rate and often makes your product more habit-forming.

Our app uses a lot of that- reputation points, distinguishable badges to earn, and leaderboard rankings.
Our app is for stock (and soon crypto) traders to track and share their trades. They can earn high win rate, top trader, and activity badges. There is a leaderboard that ranks traders based on time frames such as daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, yearly and all-time. Their trading stats on their dashboard are public for everyone to see.
With the way covid and the GameStop short squeeze on Reddit happened with imepcable timing of each other this brought in a lot of young traders and gamifying the app just a bit really interests them.
@prao25 Not directly through the app no, we operate on Discord where users engage and interact with each other.
Eventually we'll add commenting on the app.
Hi all. I would like to give you one successful and exciting example of gamification:
The Fitness+ app from Apple is a motivational service that offers exercise programs for users with different fitness levels. Gamification tools include motivating music tracks, ratings of own and other users' achievements, activity rings to track progress, animated congratulations for achieving a particular result, and others.
