The Ideas object is not available in Salesforce Lightning

Experiences

The ideas object is currently not supported in Salesforce Lightning, and is only available in Classic. My user's use this object and I would like it to be available in Lightning.

Currently, there are not near-term plans to work on the Lightning Experience for the Ideas object, as there are other customer-requested Lightning items the team is focused on delivering.

Salesforce: "Hey, how come you aren't using Lightning? Why don't you switch to Lightning? Here's a prompt showing you why you should use Lightning. Come on man, use Lightning! Hey, it's Monday, let's switch to Lightning!"

Also Salesforce: "Oh, none of that stuff works in Lightning and we're not really working on it. Here's some confetti though."

Just a note for those following this idea who may be interested... I have installed Issue Box by Salesforce Labs for my org as a workaround for collecting ideas, errors, etc from users within the org -- very similar to what Laurynda Pasma mentioned in her post earlier today. You can find the free app on App Exchange -- https://trailblazer.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=0873A000000E4e0QAC

Ridculous, we're just investigating an internal suggestion solution and we don't use communities, this would be solely for internal users to provide feedback on, recommendations and requests for our internal product team to review and plan our own roadmaps. I'm so dissappointed to learn it's not in Lightning - as someone who loves Salesforce this is so very dissappointing, I didnt want our team to have to build out a custom solution. None of our users are in Classic.

Dear Salesforce,
I have an Idea regarding an improvement to the IdeaExchange due to the existing Idea on said IdeaExchange about not having a native Lightning Ideas object: Allow me the abilit to UNvote for an Idea that has become ridiculous. Its a parody of its own existence at this point.
Thanks.

We rely heavily on ideation for our Community and have been forced to heavily customize it to provide a minimally viable experience for our members. As we've moved to Lightning and lost internal ideation capabilities that for now are "not planned," here's how I see our options:

1. Limp along trying to manage thousands of ideas with no Lightning support
2. Build our own ideation functionality with custom objects
3. Integrate a best of breed ideation platform with our community
4. Move to a best of breed community platform with supported ideation capability

Shame that this is not a priority, but it makes sense given the lack of innovation and attention given to the Salesforce IdeaExchange.

This is INSANE! Our Product Management team uses Ideas to drive our roadmaps and is a very necessary function for our company. How do we push users to use Lightning when key components STILL are not available?

This is such a valuable tool for our organization. Instead of complaining about Salesforce, we encourage users to funnel those pain points to IDEAS. It funnels all ideas to the right people, instead of the pain point being viewed negatively around the water cooler. As Salesforce Implementation parters we talk process improvement with our clients all the time. We want to be able to walk the walk too.

Any updates on this?! I installed a Salesforce backup platform for my org today and all of the backups are getting permissions errors because the service account doesn't have access to the Idea object. I'm not able to grant it access either in the lightning platform. We don't even use this object at my company but now all of our backups are posting errors because of it. So frustrating.
