Welcome to the staging ground for new communities! Each proposal has a description in the "Descriptions" category and a body of questions and answers in "Incubator Q&A". You can ask questions (and get answers, we hope!) right away, and start new proposals.

Are you here to participate in a specific proposal? Click on the proposal tag (with the dark outline) to see only posts about that proposal and not all of the others that are in progress. Tags are at the bottom of each post.

Advanced Search Options

To further refine your search, you can use additional qualifiers such as score:>0.5. For example, the search score:>=0.5 created:<1y grammar would return only posts mentioning "grammar" that have a score >= 0.5 and were created less than a year ago.

Further help with searching is available in the help center.

Quick hints: tag:tagname, user:xxx, "exact phrase", post_type:xxx, created:<N{d,w,mo,y}, score:>=0.5

Meta Is this one fishing for ideas?

I for one totally like the question and I consider it to be a perfect example of "The Art" of Worldbuilding. It should be allowed as is.

Meta Supporters for a Worldbuilding community on Codidact

There is a fundamental flaw: The proposals are not read by everyone. And also new users will not find them first thing and also do not know that the "react" function exists. As you might have notic...

Meta Is Artificial Life alive?

Isn't the topic more like a mixture of Software-Development, Electrical Engineering and Biology? Maybe the Artificial Life topics can be split and merged with the broader scientific topics like: S...

Meta Is there room for a long list of types of buildings and facilities in a city or country?

I think your idea is awesome! Asking if this "belongs" on Codidact and worrying about it is - at this point in time - not the main aspect; It should not be and it cannot be. Because such things wo...

Incubator Q&A Is colonialism bad?

It is common nowadays for the term “colonialism” to have a default morally negative connotation. But, what really is colonialism, and is it always bad? Why/why not?

Incubator Q&A Why can't the body clear / drain a periapical tooth abscess on its own?

I can't provide a specific answer, but I'll try a general one based on evolutionary theory and (refuted) teleology. The body is indeed equipped to fight infections. I believe the human immune syst...

Meta Make proposed community tags mandatory

I disagree. We should allow people to ask questions that don't fall under any existing proposal. Proposal tags can always be added later, it's easy to do even in bulk (especially if an API is im...

Meta Use tags instead of posts to describe sites?

Is it better to put site proposal descriptions in tag descriptions, rather than posts?

Meta Should recommendation questions be on-topic?

If Home Improvement is the only proposal we consider, I think all should be on topic. They are all important topics for people discussing home improvement. Forbidding them would undermine the usefu...

Incubator Q&A If someone had vibration based superpowers how would their powers react underwater

Incubator Q&A Would it make sense for an entity who can control tangible and/or intangible materials be able to manipulate electricity but not light?

Your psionic energy make little sense as we currently understand physics. Since you're making up the rules, it can do whatever you want. You are in effect asking "When I totally ignore the laws o...

Meta Allowed types of questions for Worldbuilding

I like the proposal text and have actually very little to add. Should be a solid starting ground. One concern I have is the general thing with "malformed questions". I strongly advocate for not h...

Meta Is Worldbuilding fit for Q&A?

There is one simple answer to this question: No. No, it does not fit into the current concept of Q&A. The topic of Worldbuilding is fundamentally different to probably all other possible commun...
