The Codidact functional specification calls for changes to answer ordering; we just haven't gotten that far in implementation yet. (Scroll down to the "Votes and Scores" section.) For each questi...
I was just looking at Reports > Posts in the moderator tools of the Electrical Engineering site: The total numbers of questions, answers, and comments is believable. However, these don't agr...
What is the bug? Found a way to produce a 404 by clicking on the site's own links. How to reproduce Go to the homepage. On the right side you will see a tab like this Now click on "all new...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 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...
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...
It's something completely different. This project started in a Discord server, which was originally used for all kind of discussions regarding organisational matters and with regards to ideas, how...
I'm not fully familiar with everything that's possible and not with the current software, but I'm a moderator on two Codidact sites (Writing and Scientific Speculation), so hopefully I can provide ...
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...
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...
We have some posting tips on the "ask question" (or "create post" etc) pages, and we plan to add better contextual help in the future. Another way to guide people would be with templates, a "proto...
After I asked a question, it was pointed out in the comments that it may possibly be a duplicate of another question. I was inclined to agree and wanted to close it. However, the only option I see[...
The problem is, that nothing happens with comments. Literally nothing. This means, that the comment table contains references to a non-existent user, which causes 500 server errors. This is bad an...
Speaking for myself and not the team (I haven't discussed this with anyone else), here are some things I'd like to consider: We shouldn't try to programmatically determine what a "minor" edit ...
This was definitely unexpected, and possibly a bug. A question was flagged over on Scientific Speculation that hadn't been acted on in any way on Codidcat and had no non-deleted answers (they were ...
In order to make more users join a community, there must be actual content present Casual users don't join some random community no matter how interested they are in the topic unless given an actu...
We had this discussion over at Software Development: Should we allow answers generated by ChatGPT? The general consensus so far seem to be that such answers shouldn't be allowed. Mostly because th...
