Can the Hot Question list be changed so that featured posts don't show up in it? They are already in the list once.
I can't post images in answers on the Outdoors site, like for example here. When I click on the image button, nothing happens, or a little text pops up above the button too quickly to read. Howev...
I just noticed when posting a fourth writing challenge that the answer license there defaults to CC BY-SA 4.0. That's the site default license. Normally that wouldn't be a problem, but the default ...
I wrote a question on a site I hadn't been to before, and got an answer. I tried to upvote the answer, but was shown: I only have 1 rep (should start at 0, but that's another matter), so I can un...
Oh... yet another announcement from me :) So, we built a new user tour, which explains how Codidact works. Every new user will get an inbox-notification inviting them to take the tour (only once, n...
This might sound silly, but ever since I wrote my first post here, I have noticed that the title comes after the body and I find it quite strange. Since I have some activity using Stack Exchange (b...
On other Q&A sites it's quite common to newcomers vote on some answer/question that they liked. Moreover user might even join to a community just to express their support. While I understand th...
You might have noticed, that the Hot Posts sidebar widget changed. This is, because we added some new features surrounding it. Most noteably, moderators can now feature links to that bulletin. This...
Inspired from this post asking what steps there are between proposal and launching a community, I would like to know what steps there are between an idea and a proposal. Right now, we have at least...
Codidact features a list of communities, but none of them seems to address software development. I have seen Professional coding proposal and I think Monica's proposal makes even more sense since w...
When going to my user profile, I see 5 possible tabs: 'Profile', 'Activity', 'Account', 'Edit' and 'Subscriptions' However, when I go to the 'Account', 'Edit' or 'Subscription' tabs, the visible t...
Featured Posts One neat feature on SE was that mods could mark posts as [featured], and any such-tagged post would appear in a special sidebar widget. That way meta posts which the per-site mods fe...
I know that notifications will be revamped in the future, but this is small and quite a nuisance. If you click on Notifications icon, the notification list pops up. Directly dismissing it by clicki...
On the EE site, Moderator Tools > Reports > Users yields the following graph: This can't be right, because it shows users joining before 7 June, the day the site was launched. It's also not...
Currently in order to check for new posts on the sites I am interested in, I have to visit the sites individually. Since the posts are stored in one DB would it be possible to get a page here that...
Are duplicate questions a concern here as well? Is the old banner of "repository of good Q&A" still a thing? Has there been any consideration to some of the old suggestions regarding duplicate ...
I want to vote up a question in meta and I receive the following error: Failed: You have used your daily vote limit: 0/0 (403) I assume that I must have a minimum reputation (currently I have 1),...
On Cooking, I sometimes run into comprehension issues as food is labelled differently around the world. One recent example for this is ground beef and minced meat which both essentially mean the sa...
We have some posting tips on the "ask question" (or "create post" etc) pages, and we plan to add better contextual help in the future. Another way to guide people would be with templates, a "proto...
When adding a new comment, there is a helpful character count (x/500). If you exceed the count, it is clear that is why the comment can't be saved. When editing an existing comment, there is no ch...
When users of a Codidact site come up with bugs or feature requests that are not specific to that site: Is it preferable that they post to their local Meta or to Meta.Codidact? Is one of these ...
There currently seems to be no concept of "queues" for questions or answers. I also looked at the old discourse forum, and it seems like different kinds of queues are causally mentioned, for differ...

On my Speculative Science page there's an incorrect link to my website: https://https//https://https://https://sites.google.com/site/rebeccajstones/. It looks like it didn't import properly, as it...
Given that QPixel is open source, shouldn't bug reports go on the GitHub repo instead of as a Q&A on meta? The description on codidact.com says "Our meta site for issues regarding community and...
I've noticed that the photography.codidact meta tagging system differs from what seems more conventional. For example, it appears that there no tags are mandatory (here at least one of [bug] [featu...
Is it a problem if specific users harvest highly-voted questions on SE, then self answer, to farm a huge amount of rep? And if so, what can we do to prevent it? I haven't seen it happen, but askin...
Tracking when each user last logged in or last was active may be onerous but such information can be helpful in various ways, such as in deciding when to return to a post. Edit At least for the tim...
I'd like to: suggest usage guidance or detailed wikis for tags (e.g. https://meta.codidact.com/categories/3/tags) draw attention to possible typos (e.g. https://meta.codidact.com/posts/search) upv...
I think there might be some sort of point bug. Two days ago, over on Judaism I had 38 points. The next day I was down to 28, leading me to believe that I had gotten multiple down-votes for a post I...
If a post is Closed by others, I assume there is a requirement (similar to Some Other sties) for a Close Reason. However, if I delete a post myself (e.g., I just deleted an Answer to https://judais...
I was just informed I've reached my daily voting limit. I didn't know Codidact had a voting limit. Why is there a voting limit?
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 can't post a new answer when that answer contains an image. Clicking Post Answer makes it turn gray, but it then just sits there. I removed the image from the post, and it worked. See https://...
In my notifications inbox, notifications have time stamps to show when they've been created. Can time stamps also be included in the notifications pull down menu? This way, it's possible to see qui...
On SE, there is a follow option, and you get notified when any activity on that question occurs. Can we have that same feature implemented?
Currently, when viewing a post, Codidact will show you the raw votes on a post, with the breakdown into upvotes and downvotes: There's been some feedback that this is a bit too much to show, espec...
Issue: Consider the scenario where you post a new question, and five people all write comments or answers on it. Your inbox will then have five notifications in it, one for each new response. You c...
I'd like to see a history of comments posted (and for moderators, perhaps even including deleted comments) on a user's profile page. Use cases: Allow moderators to look over the totality of a use...
On Stack Overflow and its sister sites as well as on Wikipedia and its sister sites, if you're on page X and click "Log In", you get to the login page (true here too). If you then log in, you get t...
The image uploader seems broken. Clicking on the upload button does nothing. Cross ref: bug report posted over at Photography Meta. Also, I just noticed while making the link above, clicking the "l...
(This may not be the simplest feature request. It's also not extremely high priority. It's a nice-to-have, not imperative, and may not be possible at the moment - which is fine.) Everyone loves ke...
You have a website or a blog where you want to advertise for your favorite Codidact community? Or you got permission to advertise on someone else's website? Great. Please spread the word and invite...
It's probably just my Internet connection, but I often find when I'm composing a post that my window freezes for a few moments so that my post can autosave. Sometimes it happens often enough to be ...
Currently, the pending flags don't show in the header in the mobile view. Even if moderation from a smartphone isn't ideal, there are going to be times when I will be away from my computer for an e...
Since Codidact was founded, we have had one rule leading our path every step of the way. It's the rule that community comes first. That the Codidact "staff" shouldn’t overrule the community, but co...
When referring to individual Codidact communities, what is the standard way of referring to them? In most cases, the name of the community is a generic term that doesn't by itself refer specificall...
When Scientific Speculation was populated with questions and answers from Worldbuilding SE, it also inherited the Worldbuilding SE set of tags. Specifically for the purposes of this question, it in...
"Scoring System for Trust Level Requirements" by Mithrandir24601 states that at some point, interaction with the site will be gated behind trust levels, as described in "User Privileges" on the Git...
If I write a question or an answer, sometimes I want to notify specific users because of the context of my question or answer (for example if I post a follow-up question to an answer from another q...
