Why do some people have a duck icon in their profile picture

I want it too :frowning:

It once was for a certain amount of meaningful/helpful responds and for showing up regularly.
After the rules got updated, it’s not quite clear anymore how much you have to post, and for how many days, to get selected.

Here is the (updated) guide

Quote

We’re looking for creators who represent the heart of the community — chosen based on five key values we call the 5 “QUACKS”:

  • Quality – Sharing accurate and helpful info

  • Uniqueness – Adding your own perspective and creativity

  • Activity – Showing up and participating regularly

  • Communication – Engaging in thoughtful, respectful discussion

  • Kindness – Supporting others with empathy and care

If this sounds like you, The Duck League might just be your next perch.

Let’s keep building this space together.
One quack at a time.

/Quote end

Since ducks get selected quarterly (according to the rules), the end of this selection period should be end of December.

You could check the users list and take a look how much the users with the duck avatar posted and for how many days they showed up.

There are also groups where you can check all members’ activity

It’s a bit unhelpful that these rules are mostly posted as an image, so users who can’t speak english can’t fully read/translate them.

Left the original rules - right the updated rules

I’m still jealous of the Golden Ducks. I just didn’t make the cut.

You have a feathered duck, why are you saying you want one?

@JoyIsFunner When this post was created, only very few users had any kind of duck awarded to them. Now that all of us have gotten them, it might look a bit confusing when seeing this post for the first time :grinning_face:
