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.

When importing Creative Commons licensed content from another site, how to ensure that search engines won't penalize my site?
Codidact has tried importing questions from other Q/A sites like Stack Exchange.  However search engines have not liked that.  Those questions and answers don't usually get indexed on Codidact, and in some cases they may have even hurt the search engine rankings of the original content that gets posted.

When legally importing large amounts of content from other sites and complying with the license terms to do so, how do you ensure that search engines don't ding the site for doing so?
