They live on many different frontends, many different smart contracts, and many different chains. It isn't clear where the community lives or where to start.
Bridges/Doors: If I'm buying a token, I obviously am curious about thresholds. But how many times have they been changed and applied? For what purposes? At what pace do I need to accumulate?
Communities in web3 issue tokens which are primitives used for defining membership - and if platforms want communities to use them, then they must support flexible membership structures.
While they might only have one ERC20 token right now, we're entering a phase where they might have seasonal sets of NFTs as well (or multiple ERC20 tokens). It isn't clear what the tokens are for/value they hold.
People/Politics: I want to know about the history and momentum of proposals, participation, and execution. What tools were used and token/delegation structures?
Energy Consumption/Production: Which tokens are moving and which aren't? Are any of them interlinked/dependent on each other? What about the token's relationships with other communities tokens?
How do we comb through the complexity of web3 communities such that we can provide helpful context about what people are "buying" into when they go to app.uniswap.org or opensea.io or any other marketplace/exchange?
Public Parks/Spaces: What does the community composition look like and where do they live? What is the relationship graph of interactions across different surfaces?
