Is there any way on the category-level or topic-level of settings to limit each member to not be able to post more than once? I have a topic where people share their social media information and I want to prevent conversations starting beyond the first post with that information shared 👍

Love this feature request.
I have use-cases for it in my community. For instance, we have a topic where veterinaries can upload their diplomas. It would make sense to limit such topics to a single poster per topic.

No such feature exists yet. The use case makes sense, but I can only see this as a plugin.
Have you tried it in practice? Are users actually so unwieldy that you can’t politely ask them to just post once? Follow that up with some polite-but-consistent deletions of transgressors and I think you’d be fine.

Your use case can be achieved with CSS.
Change `.category-NAME` to the category you’re targeting.
```plaintext
.category-NAME {
// hide reply buttons
button.reply,
.timeline-footer-controls button.create,
.topic-footer-main-buttons button.create {
display: none;
}
// just in case
&:not(.staff) & {
.topic-post:not(:first-of-type),
.time-gap {
display: none;
}
}
}
```
This will remove any reply button from the posts in the selected category.

The use case in the OP requires something more intensive 😅
