Welcome to Codidact Meta!
Codidact Meta is the meta-discussion site for the Codidact community network and the Codidact software. Whether you have bug reports or feature requests, support questions or rule discussions that touch the whole network – this is the site for you.

That could get noisy if it were the default behavior. But maybe we should consider, instead, an option where you can choose to be notified of new activity on a specific post. We already have an o...
You can. On the user's profile, click "Moderator tools" and then choose "privileges" from there. (I'm sorry about the unclear name there.) This takes you to a page where you can grant or suspe...
We didn't set out to have a reputation stat, but because we started by adapting code that had it, we started out that way. When we brought up removing it, a few people objected strongly. (See, fo...
There is some amount of subjectivity in evaluating proposals, which is not ideal. It's important for us (all, together) to figure out how we can improve our process. Ultimately we probably need t...
Are you asking about the software platform or operational policies? On accessibility in general: We want our platform to be accessible to as many people as is practical, and we do attempt to addr...
Please flag any individual post/comment that seems problematic. A flag doesn't mean "this is objectively delete-worthy" but rather "hey mods, please take a look at this". You can always use a cus...
The best place to raise concerns about any specific actions -- whether by mods or by the community -- is the per-community Meta category. Differences of opinion about closing questions might reall...
Post titles are now self-links, and in addition, the "Copy Link" control (everywhere) now offers two options, raw and markdown:
One threat model is the nearby person at the coffeeshop (or whatever) being able to scan the large QR code that comes up as soon as you click that button in the header. Many other things in the he...
This is a gap we need to address, yes. There's another way to get rid of them that's a little hacky: you can merge the bad tag into another one. If there's an obvious target (like there were two ...
Quora seems to be more of a social platform than a knowledge-sharing one. You have to dig through a lot of stuff you don't care about to find the information you're looking for. We don't want to ...
Speaking for myself and not the team (I haven't discussed this with anyone else), here are some things I'd like to consider: We shouldn't try to programmatically determine what a "minor" edit ...
I think what you're asking for is (1) better information about votes you're receiving, so you know which posts are being up- or down-voted, and (2) for that information to be available in one place...
The Codidact terms of service (example is from Writing) include: You own the copyright to your content; by posting it here, you license it under the terms of CC BY-SA 4.0, including any media yo...
The scope of the Electrical Engineering community is up to them. If you want to propose changes, you should ask on their meta. We don't impose scope on communities; we allow communities to define...
We added that drop-down menu in response to requests from community members. Yes there's a link in the footer (and that has been brought up before), but many feel that we need something a little m...
Site-level settings These settings apply across all parts of a community. Unless the category-level settings say otherwise, they can't be overridden for individual categories. General: Name ...
Writing already has consensus to delete unclaimed, untouched, imported posts. We should see how that changes things, and then the other two communities with large-scale imports can decide how they...
The recent database update included a reputation recalculation. Reputation doesn't mean as much as it used to (it doesn't govern abilities any more), but it's still present and visible. In the re...
For the buttons, I propose something bolder: don't duplicate them, move them. The logical time to make a voting decision is when you've read a post, so I agree they belong at the bottom. But why ...
Codidact uses highlight.js for syntax highlighting. We support whatever languages are enabled by default in that package; we haven't restricted them. As I write this, they list 189 languages with...
A community with common interests is a part of it too. At Some Other place somebody wanted to combine all the Abrahamic religion sites into one, arguing that they share a lot of biblical books and...
One of the things we look for in a new site is enough interested participants to make it viable. We now ask people to make their interest known, because votes don't necessarily correlate with inte...
We have to build awareness through word of mouth. And that's not about Codidact in general, and isn't always even about specific Codidact communities (though it can be). Sometimes tweeting a link...
