It's been pointed out in a few places that, so long as creating tags is much easier than managing them, we're going to have problems handling typos, duplicates, and tags that otherwise ought not ex...
We have added a new flag type for all post types: Generated by AI: This post appears to contain AI-generated content (such as ChatGPT) without attribution This places the focus on the attribu...
It's been a long time since this question was asked, and in the meantime there have been lots of changes to the platform. It turns out we can do most of what you're asking for now, although some k...
Update: the 500 error is now fixed; if you pull the Qpixel develop branch you'll pick this up. See below for a workaround in the meantime. (The seeding problem that caused the 500 error isn't fix...
We want to add a network profile. Our initial thinking is around giving you a list of your communities and an overview of your activity there. After we do that, it would be possible to extend it ...
I am not able to reproduce this. I visited the "create post" page with NoScript turned on and this is what I see: Can you say more about where you saw codidact.org?
Sometimes a brain dump is a bunch of questions and answers, and in that case (as suggested in another answer) it's best to do the "dump + refine" step separately and post when ready. That way peop...
The Site Proposals category is only shown to logged-in users, the text at the top points to the new proposals site, the "post" button says "not here" and refers to the new site, and if you try to p...
When you start to flag a post that you have active flags on already, you now see something like this:
The presence of an answer already blocks deletion (except by moderators, who can override this). Allowing the presence of a comment to prevent deletion would be too easy to abuse, as pointed out i...
This is a bug in the front end (fix is under review now), but despite the incorrectly-shown message, you can in fact approve edits to your own posts. The buttons are active and they work. We're s...
Status completed: title length, body length, custom flags. -- Minimum title and body length are configurable per category. I'll lower the body length here on Meta; if other communities want to l...
One advantage of threaded comments is that the exchange isn't in anybody's way. If User A posts, User B comments, User A says "thanks, fixed", and nothing else happens, no harm done. If that's th...
Intended. Or, more specifically, a special case that we didn't intercept. Reactions are not "baked in"; they're defined by each community. We seed some default ones, but a community can remove t...
If you edit a ping into a comment and that user is not already following the thread, we now send a notification. We don't want to send multiple notifications and we can't easily withdraw the alrea...
Now that we have filters, we should remove the native button and add a toggle for native (non-imported) posts to the filter options. As you point out, "native" is not, logically speaking, a sort b...
This is on our roadmap. The current plan is to allow anybody involved in the thread to rename it, with an auto-comment to the thread recording the change: something like "title changed from (old) ...
Every user already has an associated unique number (it's in your profile URL). The easiest way to distinguish user names for deleted users would be to use that number. This is what SE does. A co...
We currently have no way to suggest an edit for tag descriptions. This is a known gap and it's blocking the natural awarding of the Edit Tags ability. I think it probably also blocks doing someth...
Most of the time, any logged-in user can post a new top-level post (question, article, maybe other types). Categories can restrict this posting access, however. For example, on the Meta blog, onl...
I want to supplement Mithical's answer, with which I agree. Broadly speaking, Codidact has three major pieces, all essential: its communities, without which none of the rest of this would matte...
This happens because the preview is being rendered client-side by a JavaScript library, while the actual post is being rendered server-side using a Rails library. I've been told it's not feasible ...
One thing that's hard for us to gauge, and is important for a new community to get off the ground, is level of interest. People might upvote a proposal out of interest ("I'd read that") or because...
By queues I assume you mean review queues like on SE. We haven't designed anything like that yet, though we've discussed the need specifically for a way to see pending suggested edits. (A lot of ...
We have a design for this; it's just not implemented yet. The user profile will show selectors (tabs) for each category plus "all" (the default). In the "all" view, posts will be labeled by categ...
