We can all agree Community Day needs improving but unless we share our hopes dreams and disappointments then Niatic won't know what we (the users/ clients / players want). Share your helpful insights here. Yes complain if you have to so they know the problems, but offer a solution too okay.

Ideas for improvement
Don't overlap Special Events. The Brilliant spawns took up some valuable space needed for the School spawns. I'd hate to have lost a chance at a McGonagall due to a Quidditch Harry taking up the spot, especially if I closed him out earlier in the week.
Also, Special Assignments for the CD. You already have them for the Brilliants, and they're great. Do something similar for the CD. Perhaps as a reward maybe an Emergency level foundable in exchange for a Restricted Section Book.
Dark Detectors that lure event foundables. I was at a School nest for a School CD, and a 3 DD inn kept bringing in high level OTHER foundables.
1. Allow dark detectors to last 3 hours.
2. Have dark detectors release a fixed number of spawns.
3. Increase the number of urgent/emergency spawns for the community day featured family (we need many fragments anyway and they are hard to catch, even if the spawn rate increases, placing an image is still very difficult)
4. Bonus XP from catching community day family spawns
5. Negate flagged areas so that people can play community day in parks and not have the area filled with care of magical creatures
I agree with Maadsci suggestions. Also please fix the energy problem. Take off the limit. If it wasn't for the gift i would of ran out. Or at least increase the amout inns and greenhouses give during the event. Also speed up the opening and ending graphics. I felt i caught far fewer then i do on poke community days because it take far longer to catch.
Great suggestions. I’d add instead of 3x Barufo XP boost, double family XP for each foundable.
Another possibility would be 2x challenge XP for fortresses completed. Add a package in the shop with potions, runestones and a temporary energy boost, or something related.
Don’t schedule it the same weekend as Pokémon Go community day or events. A lot of us play both, and it’s hard to use up an entire weekend to play games!
Please don't schedule the CDs when there is so much heat in the air. I got sick the night after the CD for the heat. I got a car and an Air conditioner, but I got sick!
I had trouble with opening the gift (clicked on the icon and game froze). I had to reopen the game and the icon was gone. It was quite disappointing.
You must of not seen my post of a similar issue and the response that it was in dragon ally.
With so many spawns the dark detectors didn't bring ANYTHING where we were. They should spawn emergency levels or something special. they didn't even work. Sad.
Make it last all day! My friends all had to work so I was solo.
Instead of just calling it a community day, you could say something to the effect of "hello (players name) we've been tracking occasional flare-ups of foundables and if the current trend holds true, we are about to see a massive influx of (insert foundable family). Saturday August 10th the flare-ups will be occurring across the world and spreading rapidly from end to end. Stay tuned for when they will be hitting your region. We are calling all agents of the SOS Taskforce to help us contain this massive threat. To thank you for your amazing work, we will be reaching into our coffers and rewarding those who contribute greatly. More news coming soon"
I really enjoyed the community day! Lots of spawns and XP.
I do enjoy the 3x XP. I do also however wish there were more rare spawns. If it's a community day, there should be a BIG reason that everyone is meeting up...as a community, to enjoy. More higher level foundables please :)
Pokemon has 1/25 rate shinies basically on CD. That is one heck of a day you don't wanna miss!
In HP, we need something that people would hate to miss out on. Make the rare foundables common as heck! Or either guarantee the foundable rewards in the Fortress battles with every runestone!
My 2p worth.
I liked it, but it didn't work as a 'community thing'
I would like to see next time:
In PoGo, the spawn will face you after you’ve shiny-checked it. The trace icon should stop spinning so we know we’ve clicked on it, if it’s something we’re not going to use spell energy on.
Please make community day a whole day. I had to work, but would have been able to participate in the early morning and again in the evening. As it was, I was only able to log on and grab my gift before I had to get back to work.
@Knosses I understand your issue but the positive side of having a short community day timespan is that it gets everyone out together to form a community. If they make it longer there is less likelihood of meeting other wizards.
Are there other solutions that could work for you? More advanced notice? Choosing different days of the week or a different time slot?
I agree with your point, @Osprey1 , but I don't think it's a feasible method for many players. Whatever day and time slot works for @Knosses won't work for others. I think that having it be a full day would honestly be the most inclusive way to do it. Right now, I'm unemployed so if I have gas to get somewhere where there are POIs, not a big deal to me but tomorrow, job interview so hopefully it will be a hindrance to me in the near future. ;)
One thing they could do to benefit both stances is have the Community Day be a full day, but allow for teams and implement a team bonus on that given day. But for that to work, they also need to implement some form of in game communication ability - and that's a can of worms for another thread.
Need to be something that people to join together to do. - Fortresses are part of the solution here, like gyms bring people together in pogo
maybe having specific community day chambers (as a separate chain of chambers), with special drop rewards?
rewards could be themed around Hogwarts houses for example or special focus abilities, potions or maybe even magical items which give bonuses.
- More rare spawns
- I like the extra XP from Barrufio.
- Extra XP for event-specific family foundables would be nice
- Extra Fortress XP would be nice as well to encourage some increased chances to meet new players. Extra XP for doing challenges with friends would also be nice.
- Speed up port key unlocking during the event, like the eggs in POGO.
Definitely need more rare and severe/emergency spawns. I got lots of regular needed spawns but nothing exciting or unique. It was like playing on a regular day. That's not enough to make a community day special.
Time of Day..
Very hard to be able to join in on the fun, when it's set for only a few hours of the day. People have jobs. If it's Community Day then make it a day, the whole day...
Rather than have increased exp, I would like them to lower the confoundables resistance during the event. This way we can catch them using less casts and save spell energy.
1.) If it is going to be at specific times, make it "from X to Y local time". Like in PoGo.
2.) More rares!
