Is there a way for me to see my progress towards a badge?
As in, how many likes to need to get/receive to earn back Regular (TL3)?

I will direct you to this old topic and post your question there:

Sure, it’s related, and did remind me that I can view my summary for this information:
[https://meta.discourse.org/my/summary](https://meta.discourse.org/my/summary)
But that’s overall, not in a given range.
To take that a step further, I could view:
[https://meta.discourse.org/users?period=quarterly](https://meta.discourse.org/users?period=quarterly)
and interpolate an answer:
[https://meta.discourse.org/users?name=watchmanmonitor&period=quarterly](https://meta.discourse.org/users?name=watchmanmonitor&period=quarterly)
So, it should just be a matter of waiting for a daily reset before I’m back to TL3, bc I think I meet the goals now.
but none of this answers my original question.. how can I see how I’m doing for any given badge.

I believe users can’t right now.
More experienced users or a team member can give you an straight answer.

For Discourse Meta, I suggest PMing one of the staff and asking them for more information.
Generally, users are not meant to see the progress on acquiring a badge, or requirement stats.

One of the things my users often ask is how long will it take for them to qualify to Trust Level 2 or 3. I often direct them to the trust level requirements page but users loved the option which is available to admins only. I mean the “Requirements For Trust Level X” report as shown below Can’t we allow users to see progress stats about their…

IMHO this is how it should be.
That is, for the most part the granting of Badges / Trust Level should be the result of natural activity / an Admin decision.
A lot of requirements can be adjusted by the Admin and indeed, Badges can be granted / revoked and Trust Levels can be granted / revoked / locked independent of any code doing so automatically.
Similar to getting a site to have good position in SERPs, the best advice is to do things naturally.
For Discourse that means:
- visit often
- read much
- show appreciation of other members good posts
- make good posts yourself when you can
It really is that simple. The criteria used are not “perfect” perhaps, but they are very good indicators of a members involvement in the forum.
As for members being able to see other members requirement statistics, heavens no please.
This could result in less noble emotions gaining a foothold and I see no good coming from it.
As for members seeing their own requirement statistics, true, curiosity is a “normal” human trait, but the ability to see the requirement statistics would likely lead to a lot of extra “work” explaining why certain requirement Settings are what they are and would be extremely awkward if a member had met all the requirements but their Trust Level had been locked.
