This came up a bit in my post to try to get a TRPG site going, but I think it's really a broader issue, not just to starting new communities but also to the ones that are already launched. Just ho...
Yes. We have two testing environments, https://a.dev.codidact.org/ and https://b.dev.codidact.org/. These are used for testing out new features and fixes before they go live on production, so you m...
Having staff from Codidact as prominent moderators or doing other important volunteer work on SE (Charcoal project etc) is an asset to Codidact. It means that they have a public record of being dep...
Speaking personally, not for the team: I don't think we should impose a network-wide policy, but I do think we should work out a policy draft that communities can adopt or adapt. We don't know wha...
Welcome! We certainly aim to be better. From the platform side, serving the community (not stockholders) is one of our primary goals, really our reason to exist. We expect everybody to be civil ...
Does Codidact have any policy against using political content in posts, user names or user profiles? I'm not talking about questions about political content, which should obviously be fine given t...
I was looking for a way to see what communities I have posted in, or am a "member" of, and I didn't find it. It would be really helpful to have a dropdown like SE does, where I can click a button ...
Keep special styling for top level and moderator tags (Top level being the blue discussion, feature-request, bug, and support tags, and moderator being the red status tags) Since those tags are s...
We have launched two new communities, Music and Physics. As new communities with no data imports, they are blank or nearly-blank canvases now. We'd like to have some content before we advertise t...
Codidact Meta is for questions about the instance that we will host. You can also request changes and report bugs in the software platform that runs it, though you're also welcome to use GitHub. ...
Let's please not! I know different people have different views on this, but if the focus is on the question and on getting quality answers, then why would it matter who answers, to the extent that ...
December 2020 19th: Added community switcher (right side of the top bar). Added link to pending suggested edits to the category nav. Added more information to usercards, which are now confi...
Historical note: When this post was written, we planned to use the QPixel software as a stopgap while building a new Codidact platform from scratch. That's not what we ended up doing. Since early ...
In short: codidact.org is about the project that aims to produce the Codidact Q&A software, the source code for which (currently QPixel, licensed under AGPL-3.0) is available on Github. codidac...
On a list of questions or posts, each entry has a "last activity" indicator showing who last changed it and when. Would it be possible to have "last activity" be a link to the post that changed? ...
I started writing an answer on Scientific Speculation and accidentally submitted it in a very incomplete state. Then my toddler came by and started making it hard to work on the stub. So, using my ...
I'll defer to the answer from someone who knows better than me what can and can't be done within the software and by digging deeper. That said, since the votes cast are visible to the user who cast...
The purpose of this post is to draw attention to possibly low bus factors and to maybe lead to a more failsafe organization structure by just asking for information. What are the bus factors for t...
Two years ago I asked this question on Meta Stack Exchange about using SO in education. Having used SO for Teams actively for two years, my university now takes issue with the pricing model used by...
We've heard about a few people who were considering setting up their own instances, but I don't know whether any of them have done it yet. I hope people do; we didn't set out to just set up our ow...
Yes. There is some tooling built into the software to help identify serial voting, and when identified the Codidact team can remove the votes in question and reset rep counts, and moderators can of...
A bit over a year ago, I proposed to add a “reactions” like feature on Codidact, which would allow marking answers as “accepted”, “outdated” or “dangerous”, providing more detailed feedback to user...
We have added a summary of votes received (i.e. votes on own posts) to user profiles. You can access it by going to the Vote Summary tab. The summary is available publicly: The votes are aggrega...
