If I’m not wrong, if you click the link 🔗 icon at the topic controls or in the post menu, and share that link, you get the badge. I’m not 100% sure if the link has to be visited by an external user or not.

> As Tobias and JimPas said above: You’d only get awarded the badge after people click on the link when shared outside the community. I’ll be closing this topic now as your question has been answered. Feel free to start another one if you have some other Discours-related issue.
also, badge queries generally run as a job every 24 hrs.
