@#8046 For what it might be worth, I can browse to `www.codidact.org` just fine with the same browser on the same system. (more) |

I don't think ActivityPub has specific allowances for that, but the more general concept of Fediverse federation certainly does. Look at the /about page on almost any Mastodon instance, and you'll see a list of servers with which federation is restricted.
However, that's still in one sense approac... (more) |

| Question | — |
What's happened to Codidact Collab? For a while today, I got DNS resolution failures for `collab.codidact.org`. Now I'm getting a certificate hostname mismatch error; the certificate presented is for `catchall-server-default.s449.sureserver.com` which obviously is nothing like `collab.codidact.org`. What's happening? (more) |

You mention that you have taught college level courses in GIS since 2017, which intuitively seems like a great way to build both a user base and a question base. If this community is created, would you recommend it to students in class? Are there others who you might feel comfortable recommending it ... (more) |

Nothing prevents a user from creating a thread with the title "General comments". So the thread title itself is not conclusive evidence of its age, though it certainly can be indicative, especially if also the post was created before threaded comments were introduced. (more) |

It's not all that uncommon for people to be red/green color blind; basically, they can't (readily or at all, depending on the severity of their condition) tell the difference between red and green. So using specifically red and green to indicate opposites is a quite poor choice; and in general, IIRC ... (more) |

I don't doubt that there are lots of people out there who have an interest in chess at varying levels, but where would the people to make up a chess community on Codidact come from? How would a chess community on Codidact attract them? I see you have yourself tagged this proposal as needs-people, so ... (more) |

This isn't an issue just for inbox links, but anywhere a direct link to a post is followed; such as if someone copies the "copy link" link and posts it elsewhere. For such use, it's entirely plausible that the user viewing the page is entirely unfamiliar with Codidact. In my opinion, that makes it ev... (more) |

@#53890 For what it's worth, I think this could be made clearer in the UI *in general*, so this still has merit as a suggestion for a change, but I'm glad I was able to help you with your immediate problem. :-) (more) |

You close the "react" box by clicking again on "react". This maps to how other UI elements work in QPixel. (more) |

A: Translating the project It looks to me as though there is partial support for translation. Compare, for example, the text strings output in app/views/advertisement/index.html.erb and app/views/suggestededit/categoryindex.html.erb. If you are interested in translating QPixel to natural languages other than English, I susp... (more) |

A: Make user-annotations editable I would actually argue against this. User annotations should, as a rule of thumb, be immutable. If they can be edited, then they can be changed after the fact such that they no longer reflect the situation at the time. Yes, this can be worked around by having a history of revisions, but that's ... (more) |

Please do take care to not set up any permanent redirects during the migration, the way it happened during an earlier maintenance window. Permanent redirects have a tendency to break things that aren't supposed to change. :-) (more) |

A: Please allow a user to permanently delete their account I'm going to be a bit contrarian here. First, don't get me wrong. I am not arguing that a user should not be able to delete their own account. Of course a user should be able to delete their account. Besides all the reasonable arguments, that's a pretty firm requirement in the EU GDPR. However,... (more) |

@#36363 What @#54706 said. Not least in software development, "problem" can be a quite broad term, as exemplified in, for example, "problem statement". "It is too cumbersome to accomplish X" can be a valid problem statement regardless of whether X is something that should be accomplished at all and w... (more) |

@#54706 Pretty much.

You are right that [Scientific Speculation Codidact](https://scientific-speculation.codidact.com/) is primarily about extrapolation from currently known science.

Following the "success" link in the original question, I get a 404 "Not Found" page back. Doesn't work for me on Writing either, so it's not an issue of "you need to be a Moderator".

@#8046 Not being able to set up a filter at all because you're in the wrong category for the particular selection you want to make for the filter sounds like a recipe for confusion, especially if coupled with filters, once created, being accessible across all of Codidact.
