Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.
Yay!
You have successfully learned the basics of using our network of Q&A communities. However, there are a few things you should know about how we're different from other communities.
First, there is more than just pure questions and answers. We have multiple categories (which you can navigate through in the top bar) which help organize content. The categories are for different purposes. Click each category to see its description, or click the "Categories" link at the top to see all of them. Here are the current descriptions for this site:
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Q&A | General Q&A about the Codidact instance hosted at codidact.com or using the software that runs it. For questions about setting up your own instance of the software or questions about the code, see Codidact Collab. |
| Blog | News from the Codidact team |
We also have more post types than questions and answers.
Their usage depends on the category, but it's possible to write
- questions (with answers, can be voted and commented on) and
- articles (without answers, can be voted and commented on).
Another thing: this site is community-run.
There is no for-profit company behind it, and the non-profit organization providing the platform won't interfere with community business.
This means that all community-governance issues need to be decided in the local meta category. This is a special category, which isn't about the topic of the current site but about the community. There is also a global Meta community on meta.codidact.com, where network-wide issues are resolved.
If you want a new feature or if you find a bug, you can (and should) suggest/report it in the local meta category or on Codidact Meta.
Did you know that there are other communities, too? You can check them out on codidact.com and decide if you want to join them:
Great. You are almost finished.
Looking for more information? Here are some more places to find help:
- The help center contains useful help and policy documents, which explain how the site works.
- The local meta category is the right place to ask questions about this community and its rules. It can also be used for support questions or community-specific bugs or feature requests.
- Codidact Meta is where network-wide governance questions are considered and where support questions, bug reports, and feature requests can be posted.
You might also want to join our community chat and chat with other community members.
