Post History

We are not Stack Exchange.

While we share some ideals with SE, and have a similar Q&A-based system, the two platforms operate differently and with differing goals. The feature sets are different, certain policies are different, and experience from one will not directly translate into experience on the other.

We're building our own platform here, not just Stack Exchange 3.0. It's... unusual, to say the least, for activity on one internet site to directly result in "progress" on a different site. As an example, Mastodon does not import your Twitter followers; you have to grow your reach on the new platform using the principles and features of that system.

When we first started out, we did import posts from Stack Exchange. The authors of those posts, if they joined the Codidact Network, did receive credit - such as reputation and progress towards Abilities - here. However, we soon realized that importing content was not a viable community-building strategy, and we wound up removing most of the content we initially imported.

We're not really looking to further integrate with SE at the moment, especially as we mature and focus on improving our own systems rather than fixing the mistakes of another platform. We'd love to have more people on board, but we're highly unlikely to implement something that displays your history on Stack Exchange.
