Comment Post #277893 Thanks for your answer. My concern here is not why my meta post was closed. But, when I saw that my meta post had been closed as not constructive, I thought that the unwritten SE policy also exists here. If I had wanted to judge, I would have never asked my question here. By the way, I do not dislike...

Comment Post #277892 Thanks for your answer. I was not (and am not) annoyed by downvotes; quite the contrary, I like to be downvoted and opposed. But, when I saw that my meta post had been closed as not *constructive*, I thought that the unwritten SE policy also exists here. I did not conflate the two. By the way, as you...

Question Does Codidact want to silence its users as SE does?
After joining Codidact and then reading many posts, I concluded that Codidact is a place allowing people to express their opposing ideas freely, unlike SE. But, something happened that I had to doubt my conclusion: this post was closed as not constructive (?!). As we know, SE users cannot expre...

Comment Post #277854 Thanks for your answer. I accept this answer. So, I conclude from your answer that even if there are enough participants for a community, the community team will not launch it in case it overlaps considerably an existing one, right?

Comment Post #277851 @FoggyFinder The point is that such a community may be disliked by several active Meta users; one may find many interested people other than them.

Comment Post #277851 @Lundin Your suggestion can be a good one. However, my question is general, not limited to a specific case. By the way, as I explained in this [site proposal](https://meta.codidact.com/q/277345), I cannot hope that we have an alive math community.

Question Launching a new community with enough contributors even though disagreements exist
Suppose that I have suggested a community idea which has been heavily downvoted. Now, if I can gather enough people interested in contributing to the community regularly, then will this idea be planned to launch by the community team while it has many downvotes?

Comment Post #277577 In my opinion, if anyone report any bug even in poorly-described way, they should be encouraged because finding any bug can help the website to be more functional. By the way, some community developer asked me to add a screenshot of the bug, and I explained to them that I cannot upload any image (ano...

Comment Post #277577 I posted that site proposal to see whether there exist enough people interested in such a community or not. After deleting my answer from the math community proposal, I did not challenge anyone about their idea. Those people disagreeing with my idea can easily ignore it.

Comment Post #277577 Thanks for your answer.

Question I cannot understand the meaning of some downvotes
In my opinion, downvoting some kinds of posts is meaningless. For example, why should anyone downvote a bug report, like this post? If someone has the same problem, they can upvote the bug report; otherwise, they can skip it. Quite the contrary, I think bug report posts should be heavily upvoted ...

Question Please postpone launching new communities.
I know that Codidact is a new website developed by volunteers, so I do not expect it to be as well-appointed as an experienced website like Stack Exchange. However, although I have joined Codidact for a short while, I see that this website lacks some favorite features and has some bugs. I admit th...

Answer A: Mathematics & Physics Community
Right now we don't have a good way of identifying people who would help build a new community, so let's do this: if you are interested in helping to build a math & physics site, please leave a comment describing your level of interest (casual visitor, enthusiast, expert in this subtopic within the si...

Question Images cannot be uploaded in posts
I have been informed of the following bug. I am using iPad Safari browser. When I add an image to a post, the system only says "uploading, please wait ...". After waiting for a long time, the image is not uploaded.

Question "User Profile" should be more informative.
I think the current information in a user profile is very limited . In my opinion, the following information should be added: Visible to all users - The number of questions and answers - The number of helpful flags, posts edited by the user, and people reached - Tags involved by the user'...

I have been informed of the following bug about comments. I am using iPad Safari browser. When I tap "show more comments" to see hidden comments, the "edit" and "delete" options are disappeared from all my comments under the post, so I am unable to edit or delete any of them.

Comment Post #277345 @Sigma Thanks for your comment. Please see my previous comment. I have explained in the post why the relation between physics and mathematics is different from the other ones, so I think such restriction should not be considered as incredibly arbitrary. Please also note that Physics Overflow is dedic...

Comment Post #277345 @OlinLathrop Thanks for your comment. I also agree with you that having separate sites is a better idea. However, as I said in the post, there would probably not enough regular contributors to keep each community alive; the math subjects are so diverse that many people would be needed for a math comm...

Question Mathematics & Physics Community
In my opinion, mathematics and physics are interconnected; I think almost all theoretical physicists are mathematicians and many mathematicians are interested in physics subjects. Since Codidact is an embryonic Q&A website, I suggest that one community is devoted to both mathematics and physics to...
