Comment Post #281248 **There is nothing wrong with using "kosher"** to refer to things (both religious and secular) other than "status of food or other objects in Jewish religious law". Really. As far as "Easter Egg", I have always understood the term to refer to finding some special hidden "treat" - originating from the...

Comment Post #281238 @Interested Actually, one does not need to be Jewish to join the Codidact Judaism community, just interested in Judaism. Once certainly doesn't have to be an "expert" to join any of the Codidact communities - the idea is to build places where people can learn from each other, which includes all level...

Comment Post #280826 That arrow is incredibly useful. It takes up only a tiny drop of space (since it has not text, just an icon) and avoids having to scroll down to navigate to other communities. Is it *superfluous* - Yes. But that is (for better or worse) the nature of modern user interfaces - e.g., to print in a typic...

Answer A: How can we improve community proposals?
One of the problems is Proposals that get an initial posting, possibly a quick flurry of activity, and then absolutely nothing. One option is to make a rule along the lines of: No new answers or edits within 'x' (30? 60?) days other than technical (grammar, tags) Still has all 3 needs- tags ...

Comment Post #280788 @Zerotime Each of those was essentially a one-liner, but where the one line was constructive. This one started off with "*The reason Codidact was necessary...*" - which is something quite different.

Comment Post #280481 If you are looking at posts in the usual newest to oldest sequence, I think it is pretty easy to follow the last activity. Even if you have to jump around a bit, you just have to read every 'n'th to get a sense of where things get to "old", for any definition of "old".

Comment Post #280487 To me, the biggest difference is between "0" and "1 or more", and that is quite clear due to background color.

Comment Post #280459 Is there really enough difference - not just different questions but different *people* involved? Alternatively, if questions are tagged appropriately, a split could be made later.

Comment Post #280405 I can see pros & cons for every one of these issues. One thing to keep in mind is that unlike SE, we are open to change here: Newer (so less inertia to overcome to make changes), not driven by corporate interests (so no need to leave room for advertising, etc.), and not driven by "one particular big ...

Comment Post #280386 Once we have sufficient volume (enough askers to ask enough questions that they have a good chance of already seeing relevant Q&A so that they even think to look here, and so that there are enough new questions to keep the answerers busy; enough answerers to be able to give quality answers to new que...

Answer A: How can we make Codidact more friendly for askers?
Chicken, meet egg. In many cases, the askers are much less expert than the answerers. The experts are the ones creating this site - not exclusively, but in many cases, and not necessarily academic or professional experts but sometimes just by virtue of having hung out SomeplaceElse for years and g...

Comment Post #280243 @ArtOfCode or someone else will have to give a definitive answer, but I think Deleted Posts in general are not visible except to (a) high-level users (Moderators of course, not sure what other specific levels) and (b) your own posts. If I am correct, the 404 is correct, **however** the list should no...

Comment Post #280229 I think both interest and expertise tend to be very specific to particular languages. There is some overlap - e.g., someone might well be seriously interested and/or expert in both ancient Latin & Greek, or perhaps more modern related languages such as Spanish & Portuguese, but combining "everything"...

Answer A: Why can't I upload pictures from a link?
This has been discussed previously. I have suggested this plus a whole bunch of other image related features. I haven't had the time to work on implementation and nobody else had jumped in to do this. We'll get this eventually.

Recent comments (e.g., https://meta.codidact.com/mod/comments ) could use some improvements. Five specific things that come to mind: 1 - A reference above each comment showing the post title. This would give immediate context. The title does not need to be link/clickable, and shouldn't be "huge", ...
