Trying to get @badgefed working, but appears hachyderm.io is still being mentioned somewhere (either hardcoded somewhere or in part of the config I'm missing) which is causing it to error out when I try to connect to masto.fediverse.games to login.
Has anyone had a similar issue and solved it?
Hey Fediverse! 
We just wrapped up an amazing FediForum June 2025 a week ago, and BadgeFed was right in the thick of it! Here’s a recap of what we did, what we learned, and what’s next for decentralized badges.
BadgeFed at FediForum: Unconferences & Speed Demos
BadgeFed had the honor of presenting and hosting two unconference sessions and showing off our work in one speed demo slots (watch the demo). The energy was fantastic; lots of curiosity, sharp questions, and a real hunger for open standards in the credentialing space.
Community Feedback: Standards, Docs, and Openness
A big theme at FediForum was specs and open standards. We’re right there with you! That’s why we’ve enhanced our technical documentation to explain exactly how BadgeFed uses ActivityPub and OpenBadges together:
Read more in our DETAILS.md.
Making BadgeFed Easier to Try
We heard you: people want to try BadgeFed! Right now, it’s a solo setup (one admin, one Docker container), but we’re working hard to make it easier for others to deploy, configure, and even federate their own instances. Stay tuned for updates on multi-admin support and streamlined onboarding.
Feedback: Discoverability vs. Spam
One of the most important pieces of feedback we received was about badge discoverability vs. timeline spam (see the issue). We want badges to be easy to find and share, but we also don’t want to flood the Fediverse with unwanted posts. This is now our top priority, we’re rethinking how verbose BadgeFed should be, and exploring opt-in/opt-out models for badge visibility and hashtag use.
What’s Next: Embedding & Profile Badges
We’re also working on ways to let you embed badges in your blog or add them to your Mastodon profile. More news on that soon!
FediForum was a fantastic experience, huge thanks to everyone who attended, gave feedback, and showed interest in decentralized credentials. Let’s keep building a more open, verifiable, and user-empowered Fediverse!
Badge up, and see you in the timeline!

Okay, okay then 
Inspired by @dajb I will use 'Social verifiable credentials' as the category for #BadgeFed in the new taxonomy I am creating for delightful-fediverse-apps curated list. Which I am in the process of giving a complete makeover and revitalization. Hope to have it live soon
https://delightful.coding.social/delightful_fediverse_apps
PS. Was also talking badges & credentials with @RyunoKi today, regarding #Keyoxide roadmap.
@mapache @badgefed@vocalcat.com @badgefed@badges.vocalcat.com @julian
Nice, I hope so too. PS. On fedi there's also @dajb who is an absolute expert on the subject of #OpenBadges and related subject matter and use cases.

Btw #BadgeFed, I bumped into https://activitybadges.org and even though it hasn't been updated in a while, it might be interesting if you hadn't seen it already.
