That’s a great idea! I didn’t know about shields.io. Just added it to !celeste@lemmy.ca

I changed the link a little from the one you posted. Mine is:

[![Subscriber Count](https://img.shields.io/lemmy/celeste%40lemmy.ca?logo=lemmy&label=Subscribers)](https://lemmy.ca/c/celeste)

Subscriber Count

• I added alt text (so if the image doesn’t load, or people are using screen readers, they can still understand what it is),
• changed ‘Total Subscribers’ to just ‘Subscribers’,
• and made the badge a link to the community in the original instance, so anyone wondering why the numbers don’t match up can click the badge to see where the number’s coming from.
