I liked this answer where some external program was used to keep track of interested users. Generally, you would divide interested users in three groups: Potential moderators. Core users. Casu...
I think it would be very handy if users with edit privileges, or at the very least the OP themselves, could move posts between different categories on the same site. This would be particularly han...
Just got a notification about a comment in my inbox. It leads to a 403 forbidden error page, so I believe I might either be lacking some privilege to view it, or maybe the post got deleted within m...
It was an old project developed by ArtOfCode before the Codidact project even started: https://forum.codidact.org/t/i-have-an-se-clone-how-do-we-feel-about-building-on-that/74 (Why it was named Q...
One can apparently not make an edit to a post just to change the tags. There is a message that nothing was changed because I didn't edit the post. Well, I didn't edit the body of the post, just the...
I think this answer by @laserkittens to a community proposal is very interesting. It does not just keep track over how many that are interested, but also a qualified guess over how active the users...
There are 3 non-related things we might want to keep track of or reward: user activity - the user is active on the site moderator suitability - the user does user moderator tasks domain knowledge ...
I wanted to close one of my own meta posts as duplicate, but accidentally pasted the URL to the question I was closing. The site accepted that the post got closed as duplicate to itself. In my opi...
Assuming the favourite tags per community feature gets implemented, then how about some manner of social media-like "feed"/start page? Where all activity involving yourself pops up.A compilation of...
Alternatively, we could just make a policy that it's OK to close vote posts as duplicates even when you are the original author. This was never explicitly forbidden on SE, but sometimes frowned upo...
Over at Software Development, I've tried to write a self-answered Q&A that addresses the by far most common FAQ of all time in the topics of C and C++ programming. When posting it on SO, I woul...
Anyone who has been remotely close to any form of moderator position, or a leadership position in general, can tell you that all forms of disciplinary actions must be carried out privately. Nobody ...
If you'll allow me to come up with a made-up dystopia community scenario: Suppose you are a professional carpenter who like to discuss your trade with other professionals. So you start a carpentry ...
I just noticed a bug related to file extension when uploading pictures to the site. If you have named your file *.JPG the site complains about invalid file extension since it only knows *.jpg. Rena...
From https://codidact.com/ there is a link "communities", leading to https://codidact.com/community-assets/. Clicking on it gives 403 forbidden. I'm assuming it's just some minor cosmetic hiccup an...
We should hope that different communities have different moderation standards. On SE it was a huge problem that users started applying the standards from one community onto others. The majority of ...
If you write a long comment close to 500 characters, then edit it and go beyond 500, you get no notification that the comment is now too long. The letter counter isn't present during edit and when ...
I kind of like the idea, especially for outdated/obsolete technology. But I'm concerned over how subjective a "dangerous" mark might end up. For example when it comes to programming, I work with sa...
The site claims I edited this post 6 hours ago: https://electrical.codidact.com/questions/276256 6 hours ago I was very much asleep since that's around 4am here. I don't remember editing this post ...
Votes on meta supposedly means "agree/don't agree". Which may make sense in some cases, not so much in other cases. I have argued many times on the Codidact forums/meta that using the same Q&A ...
When a suggested edit review appears for your post, it isn't possible to see what was changed. Someone made an edit to my post here https://software.codidact.com/posts/suggested-edit/86 and the dif...
Some thoughts: A clarification of the term "community" might be needed. My take is that this is meant to be a Codidact network-wide panel. But currently we use the term "communities" as in this l...
Lessons learnt from the past I've been at SO pretty much from the start. It is true that SO has sub-communities in a sense. Each major programming language (tag) has their own flavour of slightly d...
I agree. We could benefit from having: One category for discussing site/network use and features (current Q&A) One category for plain bug reports. One category for support requests and beginne...
I think there needs to be criteria for why a post should end up there. Whom should the post be interesting to? There are two possible different audiences/scenarios: This post is interesting to rea...
