BadgeFed Update: Multiple Instances Online!

Hey Fediverse! 👋

We've been quiet… but not idle. Forget waiting for long blog posts, time for micro updates.

Today's news:

We’ve got a few BadgeFed instances live and federating! 🏅

To make it happen, we did a hardcore backend rewrite to support multiple domains on a single machine. For most, it's a niche cost-saving move, but it might be useful for others too. Under the hood: each domain runs its own SQLite DB, with backups in place.

But this isn't just about the tech, the fun part is seeing multiple BadgeFed servers talking to each other (!!). Follow them, check the thread, boost it, and watch for more as they come online!

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 @[email protected] for the contributions to @badgefed, it became clear we needed a new release.

Download BadgeFed 0.0.2 here →

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 @[email protected]
• 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 @[email protected]!)—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.
