We have a tool for doing bulk imports of questions (and answers) from SE. It has several limitations: Running it requires direct DB access. The resulting data is sometimes wrong in various ways -...

Right now for me, the links here https://outdoors.codidact.com/mod/featured are listed with the oldest on top, I think it would make more sense to order them the other way.
When I try to access /users/edit/profile to edit my profile, I seem to be triggering a 500 server error (ID: d737d104-eea0-45a7-bd81-fda1070c6070). This is what I see in the browser console, if it'...
I'm sure there are people who love the keyboard shortcuts. However, I find them to (a) be somewhat overzealous (just now, I was somehow redirected to the "ask question" page while I was writing an ...

Recently, we had a question asked about priorities of the 'community team'1. The poster then self-answered (which is fine). This answer then got deleted2 and a different user asked a question about...
Before starting the concern, I want to appreciate and acknowledge the community team for their volunteer efforts to run Codidact and handle its issues as far as they can. When I sometimes talk to s...
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...
For what reasons post (answer or question) might be removed by moderator / staff ? I do not ask about obvious reasons like spam, off-topic, base rule violations, etc here. Context: history. Obviou...

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...
Meaning of the status-declined tag is clear in case of feature request, bug type of question or, even, flags. But "discussion"? It's confusing. Context: Voluntariness vs. Responsibility, which of t...
I'm not sure where to start, on my first visit to this site. I don't know the rules, the context, the history, anything really. What brought me here is the search for better online discussion techn...

I asked a question but to my surprise I cannot mark it as accepted. Is this a conscious design decision? If so, what is the reason?

I haven't found the option to remove/delete account in neither "Account" tab nor "Edit" one. I don't want to do it but I think it should be possible anyway. The Q what should happen to content that...
The Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Code of Conduct links on meta, outdoors and photo are all pointing to the pages on writing.codidact.com. They should always point to "self".
Should user accounts from forum.codidact.org be imported? Since the forum was deprecated, I read the notice and went to this meta. The top of the meta says that all Codidact sites have the same log...
