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 other people to our communities.

Today we have deployed a feature, that makes this even easier: Community ad templates. We'll give you a link, which you can use to advertise Codidact, a specific community, random posts from a community or a specific post.

On every community, you'll find a link in the sidebar in the box with the Codidact logo. For this Meta community for example, the link is meta.codidact.com/ca. There you'll find all information you might need:

Please note, that we are still fixing some last bugs, but you can already use that page to advertise the amazing sites y'all build.

[status-completed] - This has been completed. Exclusion of some categories (ex. Meta) and requiring a minimum score is now possible.


Regarding the third ad template, the one which takes a random unanswered question – Is there a way to ensure it only picks up questions from the Q&A category, and exclude ones from per-site Metas?

I believe that is the plan, not sure if it is already implemented.

Yes I asked for that too. We're going to add "include in ads?" as a configuration option for categories, so we can turn it off for meta and leave it up to communities whether to include other categories like contests. (And if a community doesn't want to have random-post ads at all, they can just turn it off everywhere including Q&A, though I hope that will be infrequent.)

This hasn't been done yet, but seems useful. I'll add it to our TODO list.

Definitely not just "exclude everything except Q&A". Consider Scientific Speculation's Rigorous Science category, which we might definitely want to draw attention to.

@aCVn Yeah. The idea is definitely to only exclude some categories, not to limit it to Meta (of course, this'll be configureable per category and community)

luap42‭ wrote over 4 years ago

[status-planned]. There'll be an option to exclude specific categories from this list (yes/no option for each category). Code is written, pending review and deploy.
