Communities need people who are interested in answering those questions *and are able to do so*, though, @#36363. Having a place to ask questions that won't get decent answers, or maybe any answers at all, doesn't help, I'd like to see more, and more-active, communities here too -- for which we nee... (more) |

The attribution requirements include linking to the SE user, so if we deleted the stub account we would need to add that link to all the affected posts. I'd rather have fewer of those outbound links to SE than more. But I agree that they shouldn't clutter up the users list and ones with no remainin... (more) |

Codidact Technical Roadmap Something we've been lacking on the Codidact project thus far is a clear development roadmap. Various people have goals in our heads, and some of our GitHub issues have priorities set, but that's not as helpful as it could be. Developers new to the platform don't know where to jump in, and unless y... (more) |

If codidact.com/users/##### can't serve a database-driven page (I was assuming it could), then we can create users.codidact.com and do it there. Or something similar. I don't think *where to host it* is going to be a big factor here. codidact.com doesn't have a back end *now*, but that doesn't mea... (more) |

Using separate accounts requires more work, but on the flip side, protecting "hidden" accounts so they really can't be connected by observers is also complicated. SE has had problems with that for years, because "hidden" wasn't really but by having something called "hide", they gave people the impre... (more) |

I checked a few other communities and the numbers are out of sync there too. I can't explain it with different post types (like articles) or deleted posts. Filed https://github.com/codidact/qpixel/issues/754. (more) |

Thanks for the feedback @#36396.

@#53922 on SE, every site is separate and there's network-level integration. I don't know if they actually have separate databases or are doing multi-tenancy inside one DB, but each site is kept separate. That's why on SE you have different profile IDs and can have different profile contents (name,... (more) |

@#54706 is correct. The network of communities at codidact.com is powered by a single instance of qpixel backed by a single database, and so a network profile is possible, just as network-wide user preferences are possible.
Other networks using the qpixel software would have their own qpixel inst... (more) |

Sorry, the boxes are where logos would go (or key elements from logos, I guess). My idea was that you could click and drag the logo or name to re-order items, while just plain clicking would take you to your profile on that community. If a drag interface is too hard, we could use the "move up/move ... (more) |

A: What information should be displayed on a network profile? I thought the best way to respond to this answer would be with a sketch. The answer raises a few key points: - Show me my communities (not all of them), in an order I choose. - Show me where there's new stuff I should know about. - Compactly. For the "list of communities" part of the netwo... (more) |

You hinted at one difference: codidact.com is a static page, which doesn't changed if you're logged in. It includes the community descriptions; it's more for browsing for interesting places to go. The dashboard, on the other hand, shows the more details (for logged-in users): all the categories, wh... (more) |

I, too, use the dashboard as my entry point, so I can see where there's new activity. (Ok, I also keep tabs open to a couple communities, including Meta, 'cause I'm here a lot.) If you could control the order of communities in the network profile, and if the profile showed an indicator for any new ... (more) |

Search is, in a sense, one-shot filters. The distinction I'm making in my head is between one-off queries and ongoing filtering. Both are search under the hood, logically speaking. (more) |

Oh, directly going to the "success" link doesn't work for me either (404). I assume that's because I didn't come from the donation workflow. (We should make that more resilient, I agree.)

@#8049 another answer suggests being able to choose, when creating/editing a filter, whether it's local or global. This seems a good approach to me, especially if we couple it with some sort of preconditions so a question-based filter won't be selectable on the blog, for example. We'll need to work... (more) |

A: 404 Not found after donation success I went through the donation workflow, starting on Software, and `donate/success` is working for me now. I don't know if you hit something transient or if there's some other difference between us. (I'll ask someone with access to the server logs to take a look.) I wouldn't expect directly visitin...

Now that you mention it, search results are another kind of post list, so it seems like we ought to be able to apply filters there too. And if we don't get it "for free", we should take the extra steps to add it there.

Interesting idea, thanks! Possibly a first step is to give people a way to make a filter public combined with a way for others to use someone's public filter, so I can choose "trichoplax's unanswered" filter or some such. I don't know if we want to add all public filters into a global dropdown lis... (more) |

| Comment | Post #285374 |
That's a good point. Not all filters would work in all contexts, so I guess that list you can choose from needs to gray out the ones with conditions that don't apply (for example, anything involving questions/answers on the Meta blog or Code Golf sandbox). For the case of the same tag on different ... (more) |

Proposal: filters for post lists Several discussions have touched on the idea of being able to filter the contents of the post list. Whether your goal is to find unanswered questions, hide closed questions, hide ignored tags, or build a more complex filter, this is something we've wanted to be able to support for a while.

We needed a way to link the posts together so that people could claim the account in the future. The easiest path to that seemed to be to create a stub user account, make it clear it's a stub and not a real person yet, and give the real person a way to say "that's me" and take over ownership.

@#53391 oh, good point. Yeah, that wouldn't be very helpful, and I think the other answers already cover that. I think it's probably still useful to have something here for the special case of your own work (it's come up before), so I'll make an edit to cast this more as a sub-answer. (more) |

As much as possible, we want formal interactions to happen on-site (even if they also send email).
