We have a confession to make: We haven't been awarding the Warm Welcome badge as consistently as we should have been. But we're fixing that, starting now!
We're officially bringing back the Warm Welcome badge, and we're more committed than ever to recognizing the incredible community members who make DEV such a welcoming place.
How It Works
Every week, we'll select a handful of individuals based on their participation in the Welcome Thread.
Both new members and existing members can receive the badge:
New members: Introduce yourself in our welcome thread and really give us a sense of who you are and/or why you've joined the community.
Existing members: Leave warm, helpful, or supportive comments that welcome new users. Show them what makes DEV special by offering thoughtful responses to their introductions.
Badge Details
The badge stacks! Each week is a new opportunity to be awarded, so this isn't a one-and-done situation.
Pro tip: Leave more than one comment to increase your chances of receiving the badge, but remember that quality matters. We're looking for authenticity.
Thanks for helping us make DEV the most welcome community for developers! β€οΈ
