Ah. That’s a shame.

I’ve been tinkering with ones based on certain Reactions, which seems quite promising. So ‘x amount of 🏅’ per post, or a certain Reaction given by members of a certain group, etc.

Ideally, you’d need the custom SQL badges enabled to fully automate it, but bulk granting from a regular explorer report could work as well.
