What's the standard way to refer to a Codidact community?

+5
−0

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 specifically to this community, from an external point of view.

For example, how do I fill in the blank when I tell my non-Codidact-aware friend "I found this great recipe for Toffee-apple ice cream on _______."?

Possibilities:

  • the Cooking community/site on Codidact
  • Codidact Cooking
  • Cooking Codidact
  • Cooking.Codidact
  • Cooking.CD

This question came up in the context of a question on this question's resoultion, applied to "Judaism"'s Meta about how to refer to the community in its own FAQ, to distinguish it from the religion that its title is generically the word for.

I'd say Cooking Codidact or Cooking.CD. Of course, the Cooking community on Codidact would also go, but is a bit lengthy IMO. You can also consider "the Cooking community" or "this community" (especially in a FAQ)

I'd say "wait and see". We're not the Académie française or the Real Academia Española, that we should decide what people should use. See what they do use. It's early days yet. Or start using whatever you like and see if it catches on.

@msh210 That's fine, and this post will be open to answers indefinitely. For now, I need an answer to https://judaism.codidact.com/questions/276622.
