Thanks to #fediforum I got great feedback on @badgefedThe BadgeFed Project ,exactly what I needed.

One hot topic: badge posts in public feeds. Some love seeing them all, others find them spammy.

In an ideal world, BadgeFed would *privately* issue badges, and folks could *choose* to share them, with boost/quote options or a “Share to my Fediverse” button. (This is not technically possible right now, not without some hard user friction).

But even then, if 500 people *choose* to share, it’s still 500 posts. Not spam, just… noisy.

My take? Let people filter. I'll force the instances to tagging awards with something like #_badgefedaward so you can mute/follow as you wish. The power of the fediverse is giving people choice.
