BadgeFed 0.0.2 Release: Docker, Federation Standards, and FOSDEM 2026!
Hey Fediverse!
The changes have been coming fast and furious, so much happening that we couldn’t keep up with individual posts! But here we are with something big to share.
BadgeFed 0.0.2 is Live!
After incredible feedback from our community (huge thanks to @fajfer@mastodon.social for the contributions to @badgefed, it became clear we needed a new release.

What’s New
🐳 Docker-Ready
We’ve restructured everything for easier deployment. Now you can mount all persistent storage cleanly.
🌍 Global Expansion
- New BadgeFed server in Poland running on Kubernetes! Follow @bot@odznaka.reszka.org
- New official domain: https://badgefed.org/ - we’ve grown! 🎉
With our new domain comes new opportunities—and new challenges! We’re currently exploring how to implement the ActivityPub Move activity to enable seamless account migration between BadgeFed servers. This would allow users to migrate their badge credentials and followers when moving between instances, maintaining the decentralized spirit while ensuring user sovereignty over their digital achievements.
📡 Federation Standards
We implemented FEP-67ff: FEDERATION.md (thanks @andypiper@macaw.social!)—you can see exactly how BadgeFed federates.
⚡ Performance & Reliability
- New queue system for better responsiveness and job management
- Multiple Mastodon server support for improved federation
🔍 And Much More…
Honestly, there have been so many rapid changes and improvements that we’ve lost track of documenting everything! The best way to discover all the new features and enhancements is to dive in and explore BadgeFed 0.0.2 yourself. You might find some pleasant surprises we forgot to mention here.
