Your Community Profile

Your profile introduces you through what you actually do — participation, contributions, reviews, and badges earned over time.

What this means inside swapup

  • A profile grows from real activity instead of self-description alone.
  • Reviews and recognition come from people you have genuinely worked with.
  • You decide what appears publicly. Private activity stays private.

Examples

Illustrations only — not live listings or real member activity.

  • Here's what this could look like: after a handful of completed exchanges, a member's profile shows the kinds of help they reliably provide.
  • Here's what this could look like: someone new joins with an empty profile and builds it up one small contribution at a time.

How it works, step by step

  1. 1Add what you can offer and what you're looking for.
  2. 2Join the communities you already belong to.
  3. 3Complete an exchange, event, or contribution.
  4. 4Receive a review from the other person.
  5. 5Watch your profile fill in with real evidence over time.

Good to know

  • This is not a numeric social score, and members are not ranked against each other.
  • Nothing from your activity is published publicly without your control over your profile settings.
