Is it possible to have a top leaderboard contributor when they don’t have any topics or posts in their activity?

yes, if the leaderboard includes private categories they are participating in.

I think you can also score points for reading, so with lots of reading, this might be possible. But Lilly’s idea about non-public activity seems more likely.

Can a leaderboard top contributor have no topic or posts in their activity?
