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) |

I have good enough search skills so that I can answer most of my question for myself, but I'm not as educated in a single subject that I can deliver high quality answers to difficult question except maybe in a small area that isn't covered on CD currently. Sure, I can edit and improve existing conten... (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) |

Thanks for the explanation. That is more or less what I thought it would be. If current science doesn't know yet, one can speculate but one cannot simply break fundamental physical/chemical laws in order to make things works. Instead one should hint at how things could work. (more) |

@#8046 Opening up new communities may not help much, but not opening up may also not help much either. The question is where more people can come from. As a compromise of opening up lots of new communities or opening up none, I came up with [let's open one](https://meta.codidact.com/posts/285535). An... (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) |

True, without more communities you may not be able to ask more questions, but then if there are not enough answerers, what good does it do to ask a question. You need everything, askers, answerers, good software, ... it's a miracle if one can pull that off.
For example, I like your question here, ... (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...

Just to fully understand the answer, if I made a pull request about it on Github, this answer means it doesn't care either way, right?
Importance isn't that important for me in this case, because the time needed to change that is also very small. There might be more important things but they also ... (more) |

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...

I was searching for public information about the Codidact Foundation (on codidact.org) and found only a link to this announcement. It says you are in the process to converting into a charitable organization and are working on bylaws but this post is more than a year old. I know that in the mean time ... (more) |

Yes, this is a try to cleanup somehow. I personally would maybe keep a very, very small amount of imported content (voted up a lot or having additional answers), but remove all automatically created users. (more) |

Currently the number of links to SE users is limited by hiding them behind one level of indirection, i.e. you link to the user profile and the user profile links to the SE account. One could keep it that way but still demote the users to something less userlike. Even a single page with a list and nam... (more) |

| Question | — |
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) |

@#53922 I understand you now. That is a problem that can surely be solved one way or another, especially since nothing is really done yet and I'm basically waiting for Art to give feedback on another issue first. QPixel as a software itself can produce network profiles. There seem to be some special ... (more) |

@#53922 "But do we want to have network-wide profile in each community?" That is a misunderstanding. That is not what is wanted here. There should be only one network-wide profile and it should be separate from/on top of all community profiles. QPixel should be able to do it (at least I hope so and I... (more) |

| Comment | Post #285414 |
@#53922 I thought that codidact as a whole is powered by a single QPixel instance and there is only a single database containing all the information currently. That's why making a network profile should be doable by adding some code to QPixel and then asking the Codidact admins to accept it and updat... (more) |

@#55022 I don't know. Sometimes one just sees low quality content for 5 or 10 times in a row. That can happen. On the other side, upvoting every now and then would be an easy way around your limitations, but not much would be gained. What you probably want is some kind of anomaly detection, i.e. some...

The dashboard might be a good landing page, although I don't understand why it exists for every sub-site (only the header changes between for example https://meta.codidact.com/dashboard and https://writing.codidact.com/dashboard).

What you describe sounds to me like a customizable landing page. Basically codidact.com for logged in users. I fully agree with it (including the "there is too much space" and think this is a worthwhile project). The network profile should be reachable from there and should complement it. The customi...

Yes, but search is already some kind of filtering operation, so extra filtering on search is more like just a refined search. On the other hand the standard questions list can also be seen as searching for *. As you say above, it's all just a query of some sort. (more) |

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) |
