I’m curious about how we earn more badges!! I got the email about earning a 5 year badge and that led me to this but is it possible to earn other badges?
Same here!
I clicked a link to register and sent me to this site. No registration or Connect info. Help… please.
Yes, definitely want that 5-year badge.

@Heatheru Welcome to Local Guides Connect!
You can view your earned badges on your profile (click on your username) - https://www.localguidesconnect.com/t5/badges/userbadgespage/user-id/1450731/page/1
There are definitely other badges to earn, but the requirement is not shown publicly. What I can recommend is to start engaging with others in the community by creating posts, commenting on other’s posts, giving likes to posts that you enjoy reading and you will earn badges without time. What I want to emphasize is not to do activities just for the sake of getting badges, but do it organically. Below you can also find some tips on how to maximize your engagements here in Connect
These two posts will help you what this community is all about

Hi @Heatheru
Welcome in Local Guides Connect. In the community we don’t “collect” badges. Badges are simply the acknowledgement of our activity:
We receive badges for:
-
Number of post: based on the number of thread you start
-
Likes Given / Received: You can give a like to a post or to a photo, if you like it, and of course you can receive likes for beautiful contents. 14 helpful tips for using Connect will help you to write engaging post in the community

Solutions: When our reply is helpful, it can be flagged as a “Solution” for the post: Tip: How to mark replies as solutions — “Accept as Solution” feature
-
Status badges: are showing the status of the Local Guide (e.g. Connect Moderator) or the participation to some official event, like Connect Live, or the recent badge for celebrating connect fifth anniversary
Be active in the community, and the number of your badges will increase for sure. To see the badges of a Local guide, you just need to click on the profile
