Partial answer, which I hope to flesh out later (but probably won't have time today): I hope that people will ask questions here, regardless of whether they've been asked elsewhere, when someone h...
Jon Ericson raised an interesting point in a recent Meta post: I don't understand how the help page is organized. Oh wait! It's alphabetical by the title of the article. That's why "Advanced for...
Any text you didn't write yourself must be set off in a quote box and attributed. I believe this is already existing policy, and applies regardless of where the quoted text came from (like anoth...
It is probably not controversial to say that if you're creating a tag, you should add a description for it. Otherwise, how will anyone else know what you intended the tag to be used for? Unfortuna...
As @Lundin stated in comments: Because they have 100 or so of them and we don't want to create 100 ghost towns? A community needs people and quality content. Without enough people, there w...
If you try to edit an comment and submit it with more than 500 characters, the site rejects your edit (500 error) but there is no visible explanation.
Why is the main Codidact project under development in Ruby is codenamed QPixel? Where does this codename comes from and what does it mean?
On Code Golf: https://codegolf.codidact.com/categories/49 "Hello, World!" is listed as including 20 answers. On the actual page: https://codegolf.codidact.com/questions/279147 it says 18 answe...
We just made an account, and haven't done anything at all yet. No questions, no answers. So why do we have "Participate Everywhere"? According to the ability page, it looks like we would need a mi...
You're right, and that's been on our to-do list for a while, sorry. You can send email to support@codidact.com. We have a support portal under development; email actually flows into that now and ...
We've tried something pretty much like that. Specifically, both Writing Codidact and Scientific Speculation Codidact were seeded with content from Writing SE and Worldbuilding SE, respectively. (Th...
Codidact currently has several communities (with varying levels of activity), and several more proposals for new communities. There seems to be an effort in many of these proposals to collect users...
I've seen a pattern of certain users downvoting on site proposals, not because they are against the proposal itself but rather against the concept of launching a new community. Without calling out ...
I have asked 7 questions and answered 2 questions. Sometimes I go to my profile to visit my old questions and answers. I notice that the answers and questions are grouped together. There's a tag fo...
I've looked around for information on an existing or planned public API for Codidact but I haven't yet found one. I'm not sure if this means it was decided not to include it in the MVP or if it exi...
Most of the sites are struggling to get questions and while it seems to me at least that more effort has been put into optimizing for the answerers than for the askers. To put it another way, ther...
We've set up a new place for exactly these types of questions: https://collab.codidact.org/
On Codidact, lots of things can be customized for individual communities. Generally these changes need to be made by admins, but we'll make them on request. But what are all these things? What c...
Recently, I saw this community ad: The actual title is 'Caution' and 'cautious' with ʃ or ʒ? The IPA characters seem to be unknown to whatever is rendering the ad, and so they were replaced by q...
I'm sorry, but to my best knowledge, the Codidact core team has no millionaires. We don't even have a common "Codidact bank account", because a certain pandemic has made it much harder to open one...
I am starting to think about user preferences. This won't happen for a while, but I'd like to gather input so we can start thinking about a functional design. Currently a user has a single account...
status-completed Favorite tags It's an idea I was thinking about since a while ago, but wouldn't it be nice if users could choose 'favorite' tags, and they would be highlighted in some way on the...
I'm going to give up on being nice and just put it all on the table. The pattern I've seen from you over the last months is You're combative and rude. You make assertions rather than ask questions...
I would prefer to post questions in Codidact than on Stack Exchange and I want to contribute to Codidact by doing so. However, I am certain that the probability of getting a useful answer is higher...
Previously, clicking on the icon for Notifications or Communities at the top right of the page resulted in the appropriate drop down panel appearing. Today, the panel only opens if the square area ...
