A: Is the Codidact community the same as Stack Overflow? Summary: It's different, but maybe not that different and whether it's better or worse - only the future will be able to tell. For information about Codidact see the help center and the Codidact blog category. The differences are mostly in the organizational structure (open source software, a c... (more) |

What are the bus factors of Codidact? The purpose of this post is to draw attention to possibly low bus factors and to maybe lead to a more failsafe organization structure by just asking for information. What are the bus factors for the various parts of Codidact? The bus factor quantifies how much the operation of an organization i... (more) |

A: Allow posting without logging in at least in some communities Allowing anonymous posting because one is too lazy to sign in or doesn't want to be kept signed in (as is the case here) when already signed up is not a good idea in my opinion, because all the downsides mentioned in other answers (higher risk of spam) apply without many upsides. One can try though t... (more) |

A: Request for a Member Story feature which helps to highlight a Codidact member's topic expertise The idea of the developer story on StackOverflow was to present yourself to potential employers. (For further reading see Introducing the Developer Story or Developer story: first impression where one can also see example screenshots - basically a vertical timeline) It was some kind of resume, simila...

A: Closing Articles Closing of a question typically does not only prohibit the addition of further answers but also signals to the content creator and future visitors that something is seriously wrong with the content and needs to be improved (see also comments by Moshi and Olin). This signal is conveyed with a custom m... (more) |

A: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't on-topic anywhere else) community I fully agree that all other communities on CD should be focused in scope and concentrate on gathering a group of experts, but for me this one here should be the exception, because: - Serves as showcase for questions for other potential communities. And where else to showcase questions than in the... (more) |

Incubator (takes all questions that aren't on-topic anywhere else) community Newer discussion: Let's improve how we manage proposals for new communities This discussion where a user would like to ask a question and sees the availability of questions as main driver of new growth, made me thinking: could there be something to it? For quite some time now no new community ... (more) |

A: Does Codidact render MathJAX more slowly than StackExchange? As Derek Elkins says, MathJax is rendered client-side both here and on StackExchanges. That means that Internet connection speed as well as server latency only influence how long it takes until the content is loaded and your browser starts rendering. The rendering time itself is only influence... (more) |

A: Is there a Codidact community fitting for this question (or one emerging)? If I understand Scientific speculation correctly, it's for extrapolating current science for some possible future developments, but in this potential question you want to get a) evidence (difficult for scientific speculation) and b) want to learn something about the current time (not some possible fu...

Should the active category name not be shown twice on the categories header? One thing one realizes quickly when for example visiting meta.codidact.com is that it's a site about Q&A. The reason is that for example it is written twice: Screenshot of the current design showing the category name twice But is this duplication really necessary? What is the purpose of it? Usu...

How many automatically created users that were never active are there still and what to do about them? For some communities content from other places has been imported in the past and user profiles have been created, partly to allow users to quickly claim this identity if desired. However, these users differ from normal users in that they never were active. One could call them fake or dummy users. The... (more) |

What information should be displayed on a network profile? I want to design a network profile (and then possibly implement it). There was already discussion about that in Community dropdown and profile information, Understanding how posts were possibly received by the community --- network wide and there is an issue with when single site accounts should be ...

A: Proposal: filters for post lists Filters also in search Filters and search are strongly related. As you say, the filter feature is something like a subset of search, only without the ability to input free text and possibly some other stuff. However, maybe search in return could profit from some of the UI elements for filters, mak... (more) |

A: Do SE users have the right to have their SE posts removed from Codidact? If so, how? > My understanding is that the Creative Commons license gives Codidact the right to repost content from Stack Exchange as long as it credits the originals Yes, the Creative Commons licensed knowledge is free and can be displayed anywhere as long as you abide by the conditions of the license. Any o... (more) |

A: Is gaining rep based on SE content ok? > Is it a problem if specific users harvest highly-voted questions on SE, then self answer, to farm a huge amount of rep? And if so, what can we do to prevent it? What you mean is that people basically could loosely copy content from elsewhere giving attribution if necessary. That new content w... (more) |

A: Science-Fiction & Fantasy site Following the proposal of manassehkatz one could make it about fiction: fiction.codidact.com "Questions and answers about the the plot/analysis/reception of works of fiction." or something like this. The creation of fiction should be off-topic because it's also ontopic on writing, I guess. (more) |

A: Is it possible to merge Power Users and Linux Systems? Would Codidact benefit from it? The surveys Q&As have been live for a week and while the number of answers and votes is relatively low to say much with statistical certainty it seems as if Powerusers wouldn't have much of a problem with it but Linux System users might. Especially they might fear to lose a sense of community if merg... (more) |

A: Should we remove closed questions from the question list? No, we should not completely remove them from the question list, making them effectively private or moving them to a dedicated category. While the purpose of these actions seems to be to give these questions some respite as well as increase the quality of the question list at the same time, these... (more) |

Regular deletion (roomba) of content unlikely to ever be useful I noticed that questions exist on this network and are accessible that are unlikely to ever be very helpful, for example because they were marked as completely off-topic. Examples - Are international phone numbers available? in Power User - For cleaning food and objects, power scrubber vs. Elect... (more) |

A: How to deal with reactor if the reactor is no more or he thinks the post is still bad? All the feedback that we give like votes, reactions or comments ages, i.e. its relevance/significance declines over time because circumstances change (what worked in the past might now not work anymore, content might have changed). This is a general problem with no trivial solution as far as I'm awar... (more) |

A: Where should we discuss about unhelpful tags? Tag usage and existence seems to be a meta issue, so discussing them on Meta seems like the natural place. If you can combine some of these discussions in a single question and find common patterns, that's good, but otherwise ask as many questions as needed. As a side note: after the issue has bee...
