Fixed, thanks. I also took the opportunity to add a line about AI-generated content while I was editing that page.
I've fixed this - it looks like either that placeholder was never replaced or it was overwritten at some point and we didn't notice (we had an overwriting issue a few months or so ago that possibly...
This would require that we purchase a new domain for each community hosted on our network. As a non-profit project funded by donations, that's not a commitment we can make, nor the best use of the ...
The Dashboard is an easy way to get an overview of the whole network at a glance; on a single page, you can see where there's been new activity that you haven't seen yet, on a category-by-category ...
Jon Ericson raised an interesting point in a recent Meta post: I don't understand how the help page is organized. Oh wait! It's alphabetical by the title of the article. That's why "Advanced for...
Here at Codidact, we believe that everyone deserves to have access to information and to be a part of a community. "Everyone" includes people with disabilities, and so that means making our site an...
In addition to what Monica wrote, yes, a bug report or a feature request is indeed a "call-to-action to the developers", and as such can only really be answered by the developers. Let me introduce...
When uploading an image on a Codidact community, users are prompted to add alt text - a text alternative to an image - for that image. If they go to submit a post without doing so, or when submitti...
Welcome to Codidact! This option refers to large-scale data imports that we performed on a couple communities - such as Writing and Outdoors - when we first started in 2019. However, we soon disco...
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "shadowban", but this does pretty much exist already. Most communities on the network - I believe all of them except for Electrical Engineering at the moment - ...
We are not Stack Exchange. While we share some ideals with SE, and have a similar Q&A-based system, the two platforms operate differently and with differing goals. The feature sets are differe...
Done. I've also fixed several typos while I was at it, as well as some general rewording for clarity. I've also added a section to that doc about why some users may earn the "Participate Everywher...
You seem to have run afoul of one of our system blocks. This particular system is usually engaged by a pattern of poor behavior across multiple accounts. While I can't detail exactly how this syst...
I don't believe this is something that we're considering for the general userbase, for several reasons. Our mission The mission of the Codidact Network is to provide a space for communities to sh...
This has been fixed, thank you. I've restored it to the version last updated on March 9th, 2023, according to my local files from when we were making changes at the time. (Although since it only we...
No, these comments are not in line with the text or spirit of the Code of Conduct. I've gone ahead and removed or edited these particular cases. A couple notes: Please don't call out individu...
As with most other suspected violations of site policy, please raise a moderator flag. The mods can then look into it, and escalate it to the Codidact Team if necessary. The mods and admins can the...
We've just released a new feature that allows for redaction of revision histories. This feature was originally developed by @Taeir for use in his university's private instance in order to redact c...
Sometimes, posts can accidentally contain personal information that shouldn't be out on the internet, such as real names, real IP addresses, home addresses, or other pieces of PII (Personally Ident...
When featuring links on the sidebar, moderators have the option of setting a start and end date for when that link will be featured. This works properly; once the stated date is past, that link wil...
I believe that this is actually intentional and not a bug, because these pages serve different purposes. The /abilities page shows the abilities you can earn through your usage of the community. T...
Yes. We have two testing environments, https://a.dev.codidact.org/ and https://b.dev.codidact.org/. These are used for testing out new features and fixes before they go live on production, so you m...
We've just done a migration on the backend of where the images are being hosted (moving from old infrastructure to the dedicated Codidact infrastructure). This should just be a caching issue for no...
