Comment on Ideas to build a federated StackExchange alternative
MrSoup@lemmy.zip 1 month agoThe question & answer format requires data that Lemmy just isn’t able to fully replicate as it is.
Other than marking the correct answer and having user score/badges, there is anything else?
Also the community editable nature
You’re right, I just forgot that people can edit your questions and answers.

The two-tier reply system on SO is really useful and would be harder to implement – the replies to the questions, but also replies to the posts/replies. I don’t know how that would look if starting from Lemmy as a base.
How so? Lemmy allows unlimited nesting of replies, which is even better.

Presentation matters. Replies to posts about minor items aren’t displayed as prominently. This means the important answers are large and in charge, while debates about the merits of Rust in this situation are pushed away.
