By my understanding, one of the key features of the Codidact network is that individual communities are more in control of their local policies. In particular, it appears that community moderators ...

When I edit tags on EE.Codidact I've noticed that the character limit counter for the usage guidance remains at zero. Is it a known issue? Unless there is something wrong with my browser (Firefox)...
Are there any rules about a user having multiple Codidact accounts (sometimes known as sockpuppet accounts)? What should a user do if they suspect another user has multiple accounts?
This is the filter section above a post list: In a category where I have set a default filter, I can temporarily view the post list using a different filter by selecting it from the "Predefined ...
Why ? It would facilitate some misunderstandings and clarification without the need for a public comment. It would open a path to people being "mentored" in their first 5 question or what amount i...

I noticed an anomaly when I went to edit a question. The tags in the display mode don't match the tags in the edit mode. I didn't change the tags, that's how they initialized when I opened the ed...
I have noticed a user that I suspect may be posting AI generated content. What should I do in such a situation? I don't want to go into exactly why I think it's an AI. Suffice to say, I work on LL...
After editing my user profile to add a Discord username as part of testing how it works, I am unable to remove the username. Deleting the username and pressing save results in an apparently success...
In a comment thread, I can notify someone by including "@username". I also get notified of replies, even if they do not include my username in this way. What determines who is notified of a comment...

When flagging a post as "Needs author's attention", the interface provides a single-line text entry field for "Details?", which does not allow for newlines. Input text scrolls without any clear ind...
Searching for post_type:2 (answer) and a tag gives no results, as answers do not have tags. Intuitively, I would expect this to return results which are answers to a question with that tag. Is ...
I tried to post an answer with a bulleted list, but it renders without bullets. I can't repro here, but I have submitted multiple edits to the answer above, and none of them allow me to get the po...

I received a comment on my answer to https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/289594 about the image size. It is a perfectly valid point. For comparison, in StackExchange it is possible to resize by ad...

Here on Meta the tags "community-proposal" and "new-communities" both have descriptions referring to the Site Proposals category. Can these be updated to refer to (and possibly link to) the new Cod...

Some places render "--" (double hyphen) as "—" (em dash). Currently Codidact does not -- so these are left as double hyphens in both the edit preview and a rendered post (like that). Would it be ...
I just made a comment on another Meta post because I wasn't sure whether something in someone else's answer was a typo, or if so what the correct wording should be. It turned out that my best guess...
