Is it possible to reorganize the Help Center? I recognize that this might be very low on the priority list, but my first experience with it was less efficient than I'd hoped. What I'd propose is th...
I don't think many want the site to behave like social media. In particular, we don't need the narcissism of social media - I truly don't care if "Bob likes this" or "Ten people found this funny". ...
This suggested edit on a math.codidact.com question appears to only add some tags. However, I had to open and compare the current status of the question to figure that out, because it shows the ent...
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...
Trying to filter tags with a string bigger than two characters results in an internal server error (500). Example URLs: https://software.codidact.com/categories/38/tags?q=dat https://electrica...
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...
At what extent can we block "crawlers" and the like from stealing site content? What is technically possible? We can block at least the OpenAI crawler and the Google-Extended crawler (for Gemi...
Subtle difference, big change The difference between what we have now (a group of distinct communities) and what you propose (a single community with filters) seems subtle, but I believe the long ...
The best place to raise concerns about any specific actions -- whether by mods or by the community -- is the per-community Meta category. Differences of opinion about closing questions might reall...
Please flag any individual post/comment that seems problematic. A flag doesn't mean "this is objectively delete-worthy" but rather "hey mods, please take a look at this". You can always use a cus...
A somewhat well-known phenomenon from SE is "spam accounts" - that is a user profile containing self-promotional material which just sits there - the user isn't making any posts. Supposedly a paras...
We don't allow these on our communities. They're an abuse of the system, and they'll be removed once someone with the appropriate tool access notices them. I generally trawl all the new user pages...
There is a box in the right hand panel of most Codidact pages showing information related to Codidact: The first paragraph says: This community is part of the Codidact network. We have other ...
Consider the following screenshot from the middle of a longer comment thread: So which text was written by Monica Cellio, the one above or the one below the attribution line? There is no visual ...
In the diff for tags (as seen in a suggested edit, or in the edit history), the tags before editing are shown on the left, and the tags after editing are shown on the right. However, unlike the tex...
I'm going to categorize "improvements" into two main categories: "Social" and "Technical". On Social changes I'm categorizing Social changes as what you've termed "Site Concept" in the question. ...
I'm sorry you had a poor experience with the Incubator system. The Incubator is a bit of an experiment; as we continue to use it, we'll come across areas for improvement and ways to oil squeaky hin...
This is a link to my user page. The URL is: https://meta.codidact.com/users/53890 This is a link to your user page. The URL is: https://meta.codidact.com/users/me Note that the URL ends wit...
The general policy on spam accounts with advertisements stored in their user profile (and no account activity) was already discussed here. I´m looking at an account whose current advertisement met...
I agree that's pretty unclear in threads that are longer than fit in the view. Thanks for raising this. I don't know what's possible with the current design framework (I'm not very good at front-...
One threat model is the nearby person at the coffeeshop (or whatever) being able to scan the large QR code that comes up as soon as you click that button in the header. Many other things in the he...
I'm reviewing a number of Q&A platforms for use by our internal Software Engineering community. Our implementation of a Q&A platform would ideally be hosted internally or on a private accou...
Awkward workaround is acceptable until this feature is implemented You are correct, there is not yet a better way to contact a moderator than the awkward workaround you mentioned (flagging an unre...
I definitively agree with the premise of the suggestion, but instead of getting rid of all/most additional input fields and instead of making it a per-instance/per-community thing (which both are g...
