  • Someone posted a [Worldbuilding](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/292424) proposal on the Codidact incubator.
  • The topics allowed on such a site are _very_ similar to the topics allowed on this site; for the most part Scientific Speculation is a subset of Worldbuilding. With some slight differences: this site may allow speculation questions for other purposes than Worldbuilding/creating fiction. And things like magic are off-topic here, unless looking for a viable scientific explanation for "magic x".
  • I'm not particularly active on either of these sites, but I notice that this site is struggling severely with inactivity. Whereas there's a pretty big and active community over at Worldbuilding SE and similar site that can form a potential user base over here as well.
  • So how does the community here feel about a merger with Worldbuilding?
  • The Codidact category system will likely come into play somehow. Perhaps Worldbuilding becomes a category of this site or vice versa - such details can wait to the point where we know what the community thinks about a merger.

Merger with a Worldbuilding site?
Someone posted a [Worldbuilding](https://proposals.codidact.com/posts/292424) proposal on the Codidact incubator. 

The topics allowed on such a site are _very_ similar to the topics allowed on this site; for the most part Scientific Speculation is a subset of Worldbuilding. With some slight differences: this site may allow speculation questions for other purposes than Worldbuilding/creating fiction. And things like magic are off-topic here, unless looking for a viable scientific explanation for "magic x".

I'm not particularly active on either of these sites, but I notice that this site is struggling severely with inactivity. Whereas there's a pretty big and active community over at Worldbuilding SE and similar site that can form a potential user base over here as well.

So how does the community here feel about a merger with Worldbuilding? 

The Codidact category system will likely come into play somehow. Perhaps Worldbuilding becomes a category of this site or vice versa - such details can wait to the point where we know what the community thinks about a merger.
