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

I'm not sure if we have a 'canonical' way of doing this, so i'm going to answer with my own opinion. Assuming it's a community that is hosted by us, I think the safest way of doing this is to refer...

Adding in quotes
  • I'm not sure if we have a 'canonical' way of doing this, so i'm going to answer with my own opinion.
  • Assuming it's a community that is hosted by us, I think the safest way of doing this is to refer to the subdomain and domain.
  • so `cooking.codidact.com` will always be unique and distinct and also denotes the URL that it can be accessed at. It's probably OK to drop the `.com` without losing too much.
  • I think anything else loses meaning - anyone who doesn't know about Codidact is going to have no idea - so it needs to be pretty explicit.
  • `Cooking Codidact` doesn't really reference the fact that its a website. By now most people will get by inference that it's a website by mentioning the "dot".

I'm not sure if we have a 'canonical' way of doing this, so i'm going to answer with my own opinion.

Assuming it's a community that is hosted by us, I think the safest way of doing this is to refer to the subdomain and domain.

so `cooking.codidact.com` will always be unique and distinct and also denotes the URL that it can be accessed at. It's probably OK to drop the `.com` without losing too much.

I think anything else loses meaning - anyone who doesn't know about Codidact is going to have no idea - so it needs to be pretty explicit.

`Cooking Codidact` doesn't really reference the fact that its a website. By now most people will get by inference that it's a website by mentioning the "dot".
