(I realize that this proposal might ruffle some feathers. Please read through it in full before knee-jerk voting. Also, I use "anonymous" in the proposal text for simplicity, but it would really be...
I just had to go into my account preferences and turn autosave off again because it somehow had been reset to on. I know that I went through all Codidact communities a while back (maybe a month or...
This use case is already covered by reactions. The set of reactions available is community-specific, and I think is also per category. If you feel a reaction is missing but would be useful, bring ...
There's a link right there, if you look under "The community I want isn't here!" Proposals isn't intended to be a full-fledged community in its own right; it's intended to be a place where it can ...
In addition to the issue of cost, there is also the issue of control of the top-level domain. While political events in Congo perhaps do not dominate world news, events over the past few decades d...
Apparently the owner of a post cannot approve a pending suggested edit on that post. I'm not sure if this is a bug report or a feature request, but either way, I propose that the post owner should...
I'll largely echo the existing answer. Despite some elements being very similar, Codidact is not Stack Exchange. What you did, or did not, do on Stack Exchange, were you there, does not automatic...
Should you assume knowledge of all site rules? Should you assume knowledge of only "main" site rules but not all? I'm not sure what distinction you are trying to make here between "all si...
4. Does (or should) the policy depend on which community (i.e. which subsite of codidact.com) the post belongs to? Yes. Different communities, although using the same software, can and will h...
I want to question the premise of this question. In the title, you wrote: Is it okay to ask a question because you're too lazy/bored to figure it out yourself? but in the question body, you ...
I'm not sure if this is actually an answer or not, but as suggested in a comment thread, I'll put it out there and see what happens. My understanding is that Fediverse / ActivityPub support doesn'...
If I am on some web page (such as on Codidact), and want to check out some detail elsewhere on the web, my usual first step is to press Ctrl+N to open a new browser window, then navigate to do what...
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.sures...
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/suggested_edit/category_inde...
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...
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 accou...
Adding to the previous answer, your use case is, in your own words I sat in the bus and wanted to ask something without logging in Realistically, if someone can't be bothered to take the brie...
Using this post purely as an example, because I'm quite sure that the problem is general. Observe: At first, we are told that there are "4 comments": Expanding inline, the summary says 4 of...
Regarding your third point, What standard do we use to determine what content is worth promoting? Do we ask moderators or certain users (e.g. those with curate ability) to let us know, or someho...
Key idea #2: filters can be defined, named, and reused, and we'll provide some built-in ones. "Unanswered questions" seems like one that would be popular, for example. And if you want to refine t...
I'll defer to the answer from someone who knows better than me what can and can't be done within the software and by digging deeper. That said, since the votes cast are visible to the user who cast...
I agree that such a front page looks bad. I also agree with a comment that trying to simply hide poorly received posts is hiding the problem instead of solving it. It's sweeping the problem under ...
When using the search feature in the Tags part of each category, if one searches for something that is an exact match for just one single tag, the page returned lists just that one tag. To get to t...
I'm pretty sure you can't. Of course, it would be technically possible for someone with database access to go in and permanently delete a post. But no such feature is exposed in the UI, up to and ...
The title pretty much sums it up. It looks to me as though deleted answers are visible to anyone who isn't logged in, but they aren't visible once you're logged in (at least as a user without the ...
