I just looked at the badges and the criteria’s for earning them. What i saw is that i THINK i should have the Empathetic badge. But I might have misunderstood something. I just want to know if I misunderstood something or if I just haven’t got it yet ![IMG_1355](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/9/94a45bfc6ee5acfbb8bb15ce1f4a6efb6456c3f6.jpeg) ![IMG_1356](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/2X/8/80d6458ee5ecf8591acbec9048803658c6000171.jpeg) ---

You’ve only created 300 or so posts. For Empathetic you must have 500 posts, AND they all must have at least one like. You also have to give away 1000 likes, but you’ve done that already ---

To get Empathetic you need 500 LIKED POSTS. Not 500 LIKES. ---

The Empathetic badge can only be given when you have 500 posts that have at least ONE like. I was also kinda confused for this, so when I got 500 likes I was confused, but I looked at other people with 500 likes and kinda came to the conclusion for that. ---

You have 500 likes, but not necessarily 500 liked posts. ---
