A: How should we approach large numbers of edits made all at once? New information or critical edits Adding new information or making edits which need to be done as soon as possible (maybe to remove dangerous information or something). -> go for it! Useful, but not critical edits Like adding tags, fixing typos in title or in other important words whi... (more) |

Codidact already has a tag hierarchy with parent tags and child tags. For example the `macOS` tag on powerusers is a parent tag for `macOS14` etc. (more) |

@#65260 "i dont and will never capitalize a random word becuase its norm, its dumb." -> using standard English makes it much easier for non-fluent speakers to understand you. In particular leaving out apostrophes is quite confusing. A fluent speaker might just accept it as some quirk of yours and... (more) |

@qwr They both do more. They are not just simple copies of SO/SE, they both provide improved approaches to Q&A sites. (more) |

A: What is the relationship between Codidact and TopAnswers? Codidact and TopAnswers are independent projects, which share much of the same sentiment: a free and open source platform for Q&A with focus on the communities. I think their relationship can best described as being friends. While the overall goals of the platforms are similar, the exact appro... (more) |

@#8046 I very much hope that you are right and this won't be a problem in the incubator! I'm looking forward to a couple of more topics being given a chance to form a community! (more) |

One would assume that this is far fetched, but take for example this answer https://meta.codidact.com/posts/279809/280164#answer-280164 At least 5 of the 6 users who made their interests known are very likely the same user (based on their cross-posts under the same account on reddit and SE) I don...

A: Let's improve how we manage proposals for new communities I love the idea and hope this new approach gets implemented very soon! Some concerns: - I suppose that if a proposal does not take off immediately, most of them can just sit around and wait until a community forms. However there might be cases where it becomes clear that the type of questio... (more) |

yes, it focusses on both - that's the problem. It should focus on the proposal. (more) |

It would be nice if your proposal could focus on the community you'd like to propose and not your back story somewhere else. (more) |

Please don't (or at least make it optional)! It is really a pain to use SO on a small laptop screen, because the top bar takes away valuable screen estate, and given the voting on https://meta.stackexchange.com/q/368973/237989 I'm certainly not the only one who dislikes fixed top bars.

Asking to explain a specific term is not necessarily a sign of lacking expertise. Many (most?) users are not native speakers, they simply might know the stuff under a different name -- that's even more true if the term is just a brand name. (more) |

I don't yet fully understand under which criteria I should get a notifications for comments, but there are at least two comments by @MonicaCellio for which I would have expected a notification but did not get one: https://powerusers.codidact.com/comments/thread/4408#comment-13433 and https://pow...
