[ganncamp](/t/-/414352/1) reports a UX issue where the badge award count on the instance-wide page is ambiguous, leading users to believe it represents the total number of awards rather than their personal count. The user describes the confusion caused by this wording, noting they had to scroll through their entire badge list to confirm the number was specific to them. The post concludes by suggesting that the wording should be changed to clarify that the count refers to the individual user's achievements.

Reading that award count, I assumed it was instance-wide, rather than being my personal count.

“Yeah, but how many do _I_ have?”, I wondered.

After much scrolling to see my full page of badges, I finally got to this:

“Ah! That _was_ my count.”

I suggest different wording here.
