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.

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...
Post titles are now self-links, and in addition, the "Copy Link" control (everywhere) now offers two options, raw and markdown:
Thank you very much for this feedback. Seeing our platform through the eyes of a newcomer is very valuable, and there's a limited time window to capture those impressions. I'm going to comment on...
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...
Related: Incubator (takes all questions that aren't ontopic anywhere else) community We currently use posts in the Site Proposals category to organize proposals for new communities on our networ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Does the "copy link" link below the question meet your needs? Those of us who came from Somewhere Else are used to the title being a link, but we thought an explicit link would be more discovera...
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...
The Codidact functional specification calls for changes to answer ordering; we just haven't gotten that far in implementation yet. (Scroll down to the "Votes and Scores" section.) For each questi...
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...
SE sites (that aren't in beta) have "community ads", which are ads submitted by users on that site for things they think will be of interest to other users on that site. Some use them to promote S...
Three of Codidact's early communities did large-scale imports of content from Stack Exchange, and at the request of some community members, we added an icon to those questions on question lists. O...
An alternative approach would be to have the concept of organizations but not separate accounts. A user who is a member of one or more organizations could have a way, when posting, to say "on beha...
I strongly agree that being able to add a new answer after a question has been deleted doesn't make sense, and that most people also shouldn't be able to add comments. (Moderators should be able t...
