Welcome to the Judaism community on Codidact!

Will you help us build our community of learners? Drop into our study hall, ask questions, help others with answers to their questions, share a d'var torah if you're so inclined, invite your friends, and join us in building this community together. Not an ask-the-rabbi service, just people at all levels learning together.

Discussions and feedback about the site itself in Q&A format.

Creation of Tag synonyms

There are a bunch of new tags being added, and many of them are synonyms of each other. This happens because some people put a tag of "prayer" and some put the Hebrew word "tefillah" or the Yiddish...

Search synonyms

In my view search efficiency was a serious issue on MY. We have discussed there the different ways to improve it, and I suggested search synonyms, because there are way too many Hebrew transliterat...

Failed: Vote limit?

I don't recall voting on any posts today. Yet when I tried, I got this message: Failed: You have used your daily vote limit: 52/5 (403) What does this mean? Is it a bug?

Keyboard shortcuts

How will Judaism Codidact be better than Mi Yodeya?

I feel a bit confused. On the one hand, I suppose we all supported Monica and her case against Stack Exchange, but obviously it's hard to ignore that Mi Yodeya is (at least in my view) the best thi...

a better Hebrew font for post titles

I guess this is more personal preference than anything else, but I think Hebrew in the post titles in the Q&A category uses quite an ugly font. The code seems to be h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{ font-fa...

Custom Community Name?

For those of us who were or still are a part of the Judaism StackExchange community, you'll know that they don't call themselves "Judaism Stack Exchange" – it's Mi Yodeya. Here, we're just "Judaism...

Should imported posts retain their original votes?

Sefaria linking is now installed

This is a test to see if the Sefaria linking works. @ArtOfCode says just make things that look like references. So I suppose Genesis 1:1 should give me the first Pasuk of the Torah. Let's see...

ISO: hierarchical tags

One thing sorely missing from Mi Yodeya is a tag hierarchy. For example, having the Book-of-Judges tag be a sub-tag of the Books-of-the-Prophets tag, so that keyword searches among the latter will ...
