Context The footer of all pages on the Codidact network looks something like this: Pros Looks neat Cons As more and more communities emerge and the network grows, this list of "Other C...
I like this idea, but I wonder if it should be optional. For the link to search results that you mention, that sounds sufficiently unobtrusive that perhaps it wouldn't need to be optional. I think...
Currently when viewing a post, there is no indication that it's being used as a duplicate target. As a curator, it's useful information to me that when I view a question, I am also informed if any...
Where? The bug appears to be there at a specific help center page of the Cooking site of Codidact: https://cooking.codidact.com/help/how-to-ask What? There are two occurences of this bug. U...
I personally am open to the idea of treating comments here exactly as we treat posts. Since they can be quite long, we should be able to vote, suggest edits, etc, as a way of facilitating that Codi...
Background One may edit their profile and add information about their website, Twitter and Discord profiles. Issue But I also noticed that entering just the word "test" in the website field does...
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...
Right now, the help center is structured with a main landing page with sections containing lists of specific help content, with each of these contents being on specific pages (example). That's fine...
The front page can already be customised by each user, and more customisation is planned. If you think of specific improvements that could be made (such as being able to choose between the dashboar...
It is common nowadays for social technology to include a “feed” of some kind, most usually as the landing page upon logging in. One can without difficulty produce some conventional arguments in fav...
How would people feel about a network-wide convention of abbreviated URLs having the form, https://<topic>.cd? For example, a shortened URL for a philosophy site would be https://philosophy....
I am interested in the idea that an extremely modular software architecture for Codidact could have the kind of general, self-propagating benefits that things like being free open-source have. To m...
On Stack Exchange, I spent a significant portion of my time on the site editing posts, because the idea of an SE site as a repository of useful reference information has long appealed to me. Being...
This is already how it works. Those red/green bars in post lists are driven by a Wilson score for the post based on the numbers of up and downvotes. Post & answer sorting is also based on these...
Here is a redraft and elaboration of what this post is about, partially in response to some comments I've received. This post may be about a few different things at once, and may need to be refact...
I find the search function slightly too hard to find. I mean, it’s just in the menu, but intuitively, I feel like it should be a little more accessible, immediately visible. Also, we would benefit...
If we let authors close their own questions, it should only be allowed if there are no answers. I wouldn't want to spend time on an answer to have it stuck in a closed question because the OP is p...
I agree that we probably do want people to be able to self-close,[1] as a way to signal "I know this needs work" that's less destructive than deletion. If we allow that, though, then we should do ...
History Originally, comments worked much as one may have seen Somewhere Else; but in mid-2021 the threaded comments feature was introduced. Each comment thread needs a title; by default, the softw...
The "General comments" title is a left-over from earlier versions of the software that didn't have comment titles. When the threaded comments were introduced, and thread titles with them, existing...
I'm one of the offenders, and the answer is quite simple: I often don't know what else to name it, even after several minutes of hard thinking. I want commmenting to be a task of ease, not a task o...
Such questions are accepted and encouraged, by design It's not our idea, or a new idea, either. It's fundamental to the design and concept of Q&A sites, Codidact included. People who actually...
In particular, it appears that community moderators are able to edit the per-community Help Center documents (e.g. this listing for Meta itself) and perhaps add new ones. Yes. Community moder...
February 2024 Answers can now be sorted by age, in addition to score (default) and activity. Flag pages for moderators and on the user profile now show when the flags were raised and hand...
I have been noticing a lot more unexplained activity bumps too lately. I thought it was because spam or whatever got deleted, and I couldn't see those deletions as an ordinary user. However, this...
