How to get on leaderboards?

How can I get on a leaderboard? What are the requirements other than getting the rating needed?
The only requirement is to have the rating.
I also believe that your rating has to be non-provisional (no question marks after your rating), to make sure that new players that suddenly go on a 10 winstreak don't automatically receive a leaderboard position.
On my screen, you seem to have question marks for all if your regular chess ratings

Also if you don't have a rank, that means that you likely have a provisional rating.

In order to get on the rating leaderboard you must:

1.have played at least 30 rated games in a given rating,
2.have played a rated game within the last week for this rating,
3.have a rating deviation lower than 75, in standard chess, and lower than 65 in variants.

@andrewchessbot1 The RD measures the accuracy of a player's rating, with one RD being equal to one standard deviation. For example, a player with a rating of 1500 and an RD of 50 has a real strength between 1400 and 1600 (two standard deviations from 1500) with 95% confidence. Twice (exact: 1.96) the RD is added and subtracted from their rating to calculate this range. After a game, the amount the rating changes depends on the RD: the change is smaller when the player's RD is low (since their rating is already considered accurate), and also when their opponent's RD is high (since the opponent's true rating is not well known, so little information is being gained). The RD itself decreases after playing a game, but it will increase slowly over time of inactivity.
