Welcome to Codidact Meta!

Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

Search

Advanced Search Options

To further refine your search, you can use additional qualifiers such as score:>0.5. For example, the search score:>=0.5 created:<1y grammar would return only posts mentioning "grammar" that have a score >= 0.5 and were created less than a year ago. Use category:<ID> to restrict your search to one category (the ID is what's shown after /categories/ in the URL).

Further help with searching is available in the help center.

Quick hints: tag:tagname, user:xxx, "exact phrase", post_type:xxx, created:<N{d,w,mo,y}, score:>=0.5

Q&A Could we adopt the domain “.cd”?

This would require that we purchase a new domain for each community hosted on our network. As a non-profit project funded by donations, that's not a commitment we can make, nor the best use of the ...

Q&A Could we adopt the domain “.cd”?

In addition to the issue of cost, there is also the issue of control of the top-level domain. While political events in Congo perhaps do not dominate world news, events over the past few decades d...

Q&A 1. Outline Codidact's complaints process? 2. What public bodies oversee Codidact?

You have a slight misunderstanding here, I'm afraid. Companies like Lloyds Bank and British Airways are both part of highly regulated industries (banking and aviation). Those industries have their ...

Q&A Is corporate hosting of private Codidact sites permitted?

Q&A Am I allowed to participate here, despite being network banned from Stack Exchange?

Q&A Why can users get negative reputation?

As noted by @OlinLathrop in a comment: The real question is why some sites artificially cap rep at 1 or 0. Some people can make a net negative contribution. Rep should reflect that. If it were cli...
