We didn't set out to have a reputation stat, but because we started by adapting code that had it, we started out that way. When we brought up removing it, a few people objected strongly. (See, fo...
Background: the information content being presented In principle, the number of upvotes and number of downvotes on a post are two orthogonal pieces of information, that collectively tell you the c...
I thought the best way to respond to this answer would be with a sketch. The answer raises a few key points: Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose. Show me where there...
The search function seems not to turn up good search results when sorted by relevance (the default sort). For example: Searching for community wiki on Meta Codidact turns up 12 pages of results, b...
While browsing through different sites I notices the 'Lottery' button in the header of the Posts pages. It shows next to 'Activity', 'Age', and 'Score', so it is indeed a way to order the questions...
In the search bar, when filtering by post type, a dropdown menu with all the available options is displayed: Which is nice, as I don't need to know/remember which number means what. I just choos...
It isn't clear to me exactly why these particular communities would attract more users than others. For example we already have Cooking, which is something that concerns everyone and which lots of...
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...
Can the display order of help pages for a site be explicitly set somehow? I'm starting to create help pages for a new site, and would like to set the order they are shown in. For example, I'd like...
tl,dr: You need'nt worry about this yet. When we started this project, it was decided, that we wouldn't want a single "reputation" number, but rather finer more specific numbers, such as for exampl...
Marking notifications as "read" one by one ends with an empty blue circle with no number. Refreshing the page will make the circle go away. This was seen in a Chromium-based browser.
I think what you're asking for is (1) better information about votes you're receiving, so you know which posts are being up- or down-voted, and (2) for that information to be available in one place...
Encouraged to write about it by the thread. I remember correctly, when I joined Codidact 8-9 months ago I was searching about Codidact in search engine. What is Codidact? When it was launched? And...
https://meta.codidact.com/policy/privacy-policy currently begins This Privacy Policy applies to all $EDIT-org-name communities hosted under $EDIT-URL. There are a number of other unexpanded ...
I don't believe this is something that we're considering for the general userbase, for several reasons. Our mission The mission of the Codidact Network is to provide a space for communities to sh...
Site-level settings These settings apply across all parts of a community. Unless the category-level settings say otherwise, they can't be overridden for individual categories. General: Name ...
Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on...
If edits are made to a large number of posts in a short period, they will push everything else off the front page, taking visibility away from recent questions and answers. They will also take visi...
I notice that a number is displayed as the hovertext / tooltip when hovering over the voting buttons and current score of a post. Would it be helpful for the hovertext to include a brief descriptio...
Outdoors.SE has had some interest in moving away from SE, https://outdoors.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/1611/what-is-status-of-efforts-that-were-started-during-the-mess-to-create-a-new-patf ...
I'm little bit unsure about badges. They are a tool you can use for gamification (so to speak: participate in that or that way to gain that or that badge) but also a tool to show what someone has a...
After discovering keyboard shortcuts, I noticed a problem: The keyboard shortcuts for going to individual categories (like g c 1) don't do anything for me. Note that the shortcut for the category...
It would be nice if on pages with several subpages (like the posts page, with the previous/next and page number bar on bottom), there would be a shortcut to go to the previous/next page in the list...
There is reference to "positive reception rate" for posts in the discussion on how to earn some abilities, for example the Vote on Holds ability. What exactly does "positive reception" mean in thi...
