Is that expression right?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
If we want to explain how important a topic is, can we say:
No doubt that this topic is important.

Without any further context, no doubt this topic is important sounds to me like it is going to be followed by but.... Try this is undeniably an important topic.

@Minty But if I say "No doubt this topic is important", is it grammatically correct? Or should I say "There is no doubt that this topic is important"?

The sentence "There is no doubt that this topic is important" is perfectly good English. The expression in the Q. is missing a verb.

@MathewHany on it's own, I would say it's not grammatically correct. If there is no verb, no doubt would usually function as an adverb in a concessive construction like no doubt he meant well, but he hurt her very badly - but a concessive construction needs two parts, and no doubt this topic is important has only one, as does no doubt he meant well.

It's common to use 'no doubt' alone as it's a phrase:
no doubt
: DOUBTLESS
(https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/no%20doubt)
Look at some examples from Reverso.context.net:
"Godfrey's doing cartwheels, no doubt."
"Somebody this socially isolated no doubt has mental issues."
"Lessons can no doubt be learned from compliance procedures applied by other conventions."
