The quality over everything and running the noobs off users have had their way for years at this point and nothing to show for it. In the past year, Photography has had 2 questions, Outdoors 8. No...
At last we are getting to addressing the elephant in the room head-on. Lundin and Olin's answers both capture ideas that I feel are very important, that apply to varying extents across Codidact. I'...
Reopening takes a while, usually a few days.... If our goal is to make it as easy as possible for experts to share knowledge, this goes against that goal. ...a lot of these questions are not that...
Codidact started as an attempt to make something better/different than SE. When it was started, pretty much everyone involved shared a consensus about what it should not be: Not run by a private...
site culture seems to be more like the "quality content" group. This is counter-productive to growing the site. Absolutely not! We strive to be a site where people can come to get good, reliable,...
Codidact uses the open source Qpixel, which is also maintained by CD admins. Sometimes it is mentioned in passing that the devs are open to and interested in help with developing this codebase. I'...
Yes, please! I think this is a great idea. Generally, I think requiring email verification is dumb. For this site it's doubly so. You did a great job enumerating all the reasons and I agree with t...
When I read through https://codidact.org/ I get the impression that the focus is on helping people get their questions answered. There are obviously other benefits, like providing a platform for pe...
This is related to my other question, https://software.codidact.com/posts/291064. In that I argued we shouldn't close vague or confused questions, so that other people can post an answer if they wa...
Can you please add a flag reason for "AI/LLM content"? I occasionally see people try to make some posts where they clearly just plug the question into ChatGPT and copy/pasted the response into the...
I'm not opposed in principle, but I don't think the amount of work is likely worthwhile. I imagine this sets you up for weird bugs far into the future. One person can have any number of email ...
(I realize that this proposal might ruffle some feathers. Please read through it in full before knee-jerk voting. Also, I use "anonymous" in the proposal text for simplicity, but it would really be...
I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
When starting a new comment thread, the "Create thread" button is disabled until the content of the "Your comment" text box has at least 15 characters. This character count includes leading and tra...
Unfortunately, such a page does not yet exist. However, there are two alternative methods of finding new top-level posts across all sites: The Codidact Community Chat lets you monitor a set o...
On a different set of Q&A sites, my usual entrance point was/is a page that shows questions from across the network on a single page. It does so in three ways: "Hot questions", meaning ques...
In the view for one of my suggested edits, the comparison between the revisions pulls the wrong revision for that which the edit was based on. I edited revision 1, but the comparison compares my ed...
Update: the 500 error is now fixed; if you pull the Qpixel develop branch you'll pick this up. See below for a workaround in the meantime. (The seeding problem that caused the 500 error isn't fix...
We installed QPixel and when going to Tags we receive a 500 error: The exact error is: NoMethodError: undefined method `tags' for nil:NilClass The installed version is: Version 6ba3d0ad (...
I would argue that this feature should be opt out, rather than opt in. That is, everyone should receive email for their notifications (answers to their questions or comments on their posts) unless ...
The Policy and Legal sections in the Help Center are policies set by the providers of the network -- in this case, the Codidact Foundation. The Qpixel repository includes "stubs" for these pages f...
We want to add a network profile. Our initial thinking is around giving you a list of your communities and an overview of your activity there. After we do that, it would be possible to extend it ...
I'm glad you found the tag. Another place where some context shows up is on the page you linked to for the git tag:
When you submit a flag we don't refresh the page, and so when you flag again the flag modal doesn't "know" about your previous flag yet. After a refresh, you'll get the "you've previously flagged ...
Help topics are static content, so adding the status of your own abilities there is not feasible. The links for the individual abilities in the help are to the same pages as the links in the user-...
