Currently, comments past the fifth(?) comment are hidden for length purposes. However, this breaks the ability to automatically scroll to the comment when using a direct link. For example, I recen...
Currently, the user list displays the Administrator (☗) and Moderator (☖) badges on users, but not the staff badge that displays when you go to the user's profile. For consistency, could you have t...
Recently, three questions were "imported" from StackOverflow: https://software.codidact.com/q/277934, https://software.codidact.com/q/277930, https://software.codidact.com/q/277932 I put "imported"...
If you go to the “Native” tab on a site, many imported questions show up. It appears to me that any question which was edited on Codidact is treated as a native question.
What are (y)our principles for deciding how granular Codidact network communities should be? The Other Place seems to lean towards more granular communities—one for software development, one for se...
Update You can only close a question when you have 250 rep. Hence, the user experience needs to be improved. My suggestion: hide close button until user has 250 rep. Original question I tried to...
I'm starting to wonder if my earlier bug report was based on a misunderstanding. If it is, though, I think the UI needs to be clarified. Anyway... Just what is expected behavior when the inbox ico...
Make vote secrecy a per-community choice, because some communities might prefer voting transparency over voting privacy. Side-question. Why voting is secret in other Q&A platforms? Origins in ...

I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
Can you please add a flag reason for "AI/LLM content"? I occasionally see people try to make some posts where they clearly just plug the question into ChatGPT and copy/pasted the response into the...
I wrote an answer to a question, followed a link somewhere, then went back in the browser (Alt back-arrow in my case). Somehow I managed to go back from where the answer was posted. I saw my answ...
It just occurred to me that it would be nice to have a "spam" reaction feature, to mark a post as potentially harmful while waiting for moderators to delete it. Benefits: Prevent other users fr...
I made some questions and/or answers which I later learned were apparently preposterous and were downvoted, so I deleted them. As their author, I should be able to view them so long as I have a dir...
Given the latest debacle Somewhere Else, where users fear that the site contents will get used for the purpose of training AI, what can be done at Codidact to prevent such from happening? At w...
