Sure, you can define a ‘power user’ set that includes Windows power users and Linux enthusiasts, but what would those two subsets have to say to each other? Why *would* they overlap? People who do have expertise in both Windows and Linux can be members of both communities, but I think the majority of... (more) |

There's no point in joining two undersized communities together just to get a whole one if their members don't naturally overlap. Do you have relevant interest/expertise in all of these categories? Do other people? (more) |

Codidact's model in general seems to be that individual communities are islands in an ocean of possible questions. There's no goal to pave the entire ocean; if you have a question that isn't on one of the existing islands, your options are to try to get an island to form beneath it, convince an exist... (more) |

| Question | — |
What to do about sock puppets in Site Proposals? The process for site proposals here seems to be that someone makes a post, then (usually) Monica comes in with an answer asking for anyone interested in the site to comment in order to gauge interest level. I don't know if there's anything so formal as a threshold for number of interested participant... (more) |

Sooo... I'm reasonably sure that at least *four* of the accounts on this list are the same person. I'm seeing this happen on a few other site proposals as well. I don't see a specific anti-sock-puppet policy for Codidact but surely multiple-voting on site proposals is not behavior we want to tolerate... (more) |

A: Should there be a community here for Linux users? Scope Proposal The community is centered on people with experience or interest in using or administrating the (GNU/)Linux operating system on servers or desktop (including laptops, excluding most phones and tablets) computers. Topicality of questions This community explicitly doesn't attempt... (more) |

I think this isn't fully fixed. See the ‘Cutting the square’ question in https://math.codidact.com/categories/41/tags/3949; according to the summary view, it has 1 answer, but if you click through there are 0. (more) |

I downvoted, but it would become an upvote if the community contained multiple people who regularly used both WSL and full Linux. Without that, any WSL question that couldn't be translated into a general Linux question would exist in a disconnected partition of the community, and I don't think that's... (more) |

Is that what people do? I'm pretty sure I'd answer the interesting my-topic-of-interest questions before dipping into the list of easy adjacent-topic questions; am I atypical? (Not a rhetorical question; maybe I am!) If so, is this tooling-related—e.g., does the site just not do a good enough job of ... (more) |

‘interesting questions below the carpentry tag have for some reasons decreased’ — For what reasons? Why wouldn't the same people with interesting questions as before continue to post under that tag? (more) |

So, like, I love computers, and I don't mind seeing questions that don't interest me; I just won't answer them. I'll happily throw my hat into the ring for a Linux community, or for a retrocomputing community, or whatever community needs to exist to answer imperfectly framed questions about how the w...

| Question | — |
How granular should network communities be? What are (y)our principles for deciding how granular Codidact network communities should be? The Other Place seems to lean towards more granular communities—one for software development, one for server administration, one for UI design, one for theoretical computer science. For those with experience ... (more) |
