I only have experience with two tools, f.lux and macOS night shift. They will shift the appearance of blue elements towards black, thus increasing the contrast in this case. (more) |

Maybe you could edit the question to make it clear what you mean with captions? Also a clear title might improve the discoverability of the post. (more) |

Can you show a screenshot where you mark what you mean with "question caption"? The title of the question? Or maybe the tags? (more) |

Can you share which address you are trying? Then we could check if that's the correct one.

For me, an unfilled circle would be as bad as a notification for a hidden activity. I would want to get rid of it and click on the community just to remove the circle. (more) |

It would be great if the activity indicator wouldn't show up for activity I've filtered out! In particular in the incubator, which has a wide range of topics, this would be very useful. (more) |

Until this is implemented, you can use an adblocker to remove sites you aren't interested in. The remaining ones will automatically rearrange themselves and it becomes much easier to quickly see if there is any activity. (more) |

@#64277 This isn't specifically about the posts by @#53401. Codidact has a cross-posting problem since long before he became active here. At some point, over 60% of PU posts were copied from other sites. (more) |

A: Allow users to copy-paste text and images at once I don't think this is a good idea. This would make cross-posting even easier. Instead of copy and pasting from other sites, it would be better if users would tailor their posts to the audience here on codidact. This would create original content on codidact and make codidact look less like some o... (more) |

A: Add an option to import one's Q&A from Stackexchange to Codidact. I don't think making cross-posting easier is a good idea. This makes it too easy for users to overwhelm communities with non-original content, which isn't good for the search engine ranking of Codidact, as Codidact will look just like any other scraper site to the search engines. Instead of ... (more) |

| Answer | — |
A: What are duplicate questions? I don't think it is necessary to define what a duplicate is for the whole network. Each community might have its own view and criteria when it comes to identifying duplicates and I think Codidact should give each community this freedom. For example, some communities are more focused on solving... (more) |

"to the point where the stuff at the bottom actually adds confusion to the question." Although the stuff at the bottom contains the only clue that it is probably a cotoletta alla milanese. If the OP would spend a bit of effort on their question and add such information to the question, the image ... (more) |

To throw in some alternatives which I found more pleasant to use than zulip:
- matrix: has the advantage that there are many different clients and web interfaces available, so everyone can pick one which suites them

@#53890 The disadvantage of markdown links is that users can't immediately see where the link will lead them and they have to mouse hover first to see if it is a link within the same community or to an external site.
If integrated into a sentence, markdown links can also be hard to notice. Espe... (more) |

Grave consequences? Worst case the user loses some imaginary internet points, creates a new account and can subscribe their previous posts to get notifications about new comments/answers. Not much harm done, so I wouldn't call the consequences grave. (more) |

TopAnswers has a similar mechanism. Instead of storing PI, the user gets a pin on sign-up. This works reasonable well. Most users seem perfectly capable to store their pin. (more) |

While sorting by creation date (?) might not be the most useful sorting, it is at least consistent across the site, e.g. the community switcher at the top right has the exact same order. It would be very inconvenient having to learn a new layout without real gain. Also what happens for users wit... (more) |

> Quoting content, and providing necessary attribution, is of course not something I’d ban.
How will you differentiate if a user mentions somebody to provide attribution or for other reasons?
I very much agree that notifying specific users in posts is not a good idea, but mentioning is im... (more) |

Being able to mention (not pinging) users is absolute necessary in questions and answers. Everything else would make it unnecessarily difficult to comply with CC-by licenses of many posts all around the internet. Being able to mention user names also helps to differentiate between different appro... (more) |

Not being able to use `@username` at all will make it very unnecessarily complicate to comply with the CC-by license of man code examples all around the internet. (more) |
