A: What should I know when coming here from Stack Exchange? Welcome to Codidact! This is mostly a Q&A community, as you likely know from Stack Exchange already. However, I only said "mostly", because there are some differences you should know: Codidact is more community-centered Community is central to Codidact. In fact, we couldn't exist without com...

Suggestion for allowing to mark answers as "accepted", "outdated" or "dangerous" Currently, it is possible to upvote and downvote answers. That's likely enough in most situations, but there are some cases where you might want to have more than one way to react to a post. For example, imagine you are on Software Development and an answer suggests a solution that drastically imp... (more) |

A: Allow block quotes in comments When I first read that post, I thought "no way" and added a downvote quite quickly. But as I'm thinking more about it, the whole idea seems more useful to me and I started becoming inventive. I'm seeing two main "problems" here: 1. Comments are shorter than posts. Hence they need to be less str... (more) |

A: Was score system changed? There was an error in the recalculation script that accidentally switched the reputation levels between questions (+5 for upvote) and answers (+10 for upvote). This has been fixed now and a full recalc has been done. (more) |

A: How can one remove their account ? For now it's probably the best to email us. Our E-Mail is info at codidact.org. We'll likely ask you some verification questions (such as adding something to your profile text to verify it's you and informing you, that the decision cannot be reverted) and we'll likely miss you, before we delete yo...

A: "recent deletions" moderator tool produces error Oooh. This looks like a funny issue. As far as I can tell, there are two levels here: 1. The error page contains an entry for a help center article. This isn't supposed to happen and is likely a data error. We (read: ArtOfCode) have to look at the database, whether there is somewhere an article... (more) |

A: What html tags can we use in posts? For obvious reasons, we do not allow you to use any tag or attribute you want. All tags, that aren't on a special inclusion list are stripped from the input. There are two lists, one for posts and one for comments. Posts (Question, Answer, Article, IIRC user profiles; so generally everything lo... (more) |

Second Iteration of Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel About a month ago I shared our first draft for a Review Panel. Read through that post to find the motivation for this idea: > It should be clear that such a process shouldn't involve "us" (the Codidact team), but rather "you" (the community). Hence, at some point, it was decided on the old forum t... (more) |

A: What does ☗ mean? Obviously, we can't tell. I'm just saying: It's a pentagram, so it'll likely involve dark forces. And a pact with the devil. And certainly some kind of blood magic that's neccessary to keep this site running. To be fair, it might also include a mention of dragons watching the Codidactyl to prevent... (more) |

Announcing a new user tour Oh... yet another announcement from me :) So, we built a new user tour, which explains how Codidact works. Every new user will get an inbox-notification inviting them to take the tour (only once, not at every community join). Guided by our friendly neighborhood Codidactyl, they'll learn about a...

Announcing featured links You might have noticed, that the Hot Posts sidebar widget changed. This is, because we added some new features surrounding it.

A: What are the steps between community proposal and the actual spawn of that community? This answer can be considered semi-official. It's a mix of "what we currently appear to be doing" and "how I'd want it do be". 1. There is a site suggestion category here on Meta, where everyone with a community can suggest a new site by using the [proposal] tag. If you have a nice idea but no com... (more) |

A: What is an easy way to determine my Trust Level? While trust levels are going to replace reputation eventually, they are still being designed. So currently, we use a reputation system, which was included in the base software (QPixel by ArtOfCode) we use for developing this site. Your reputation is shown next to your user name (currently: 20). ... (more) |

A: Why is there a voting limit? We had (and unfortunately still have) a nasty troll, that attempts to downvote all the questions and creates sock accounts for that to escape suspensions. To stop them, we had to employ some limitations. Voting limitations will likely stay in general, although we can and will improve the exact mechan... (more) |

A: A proposal for keyboard shortcuts Update: Now active by default (no user script needed). See this answer I have hacked together a userscript for this. If it works, we can also add it to the "original" Codidact software. If it doesn't, blame me programming something past midnight. Install - See the source Tested only in... (more) |

Drafting the Codidact Arbitration & Review Panel Since Codidact was founded, we have had one rule leading our path every step of the way. It's the rule that community comes first. That the Codidact "staff" shouldn’t overrule the community, but could be overruled by it. In any community, acts of moderation should be rare. And even rarer is the ne... (more) |

A: How can an SE refugee help fix encoding problems? tl,dr: You need'nt worry about this yet. When we started this project, it was decided, that we wouldn't want a single "reputation" number, but rather finer more specific numbers, such as for example something like "edit helpfulness reate", and a broad concept of "trust levels". However, for som... (more) |

What should happen with inactive communities? The level of activity of the communities vary. Some are more active than others, which isn't exactly a problem. However, I'm a bit worried when a community becomes significantly less active than others and there is little original content being created by the group proposing it[^1]. This can mean ... (more) |

A: Bug Reports category I'd disagree here, because I think this is not, how categories should be used. First of all, there shouldn't be too many categories, because the UI becomes confusing, possibly problematic on mobile and it becomes IMO harder to find stuff. This can already happen sometimes at 3-5 categories, but it... (more) |

A: "Tour" for new users? So... expanding from my comment from yesterday, here are my thoughts regarding the "tour".

A: What does "Codidact" mean? tl;dr: Codidact is contracted from "co" (together; Latin) and "didact" (to learn; Greek) There has been a forum discussion for that question, too, I'm summarizing the important aspects from there: > That’s because the Co- is one part (Co=together, could be short for “Community”) and the -di...

A: What is the difference between the subdomain forum.codidact and the rest of the communities? It's something completely different.

At some point, a chat became unuseful for that purpose (because of... (more) |
