Stack Exchange — stellar.stackexchange.com
The content of stellar.stackexchange.com (https://stellar.stackexchange.com/), a Stack Exchange question-and-answer site, as published in the Stack Exchange Data Dump of April 2024 on the Internet Archive. The posts table holds 5,295 rows: 3,268 posts (1,463 questions, 1,674 answers, 65 tag wiki excerpts, 65 tag wikis and 1 post of type 6) and 2,027 comments, written between 17 January 2018 and 28 March 2024. Beside it are 7,156 user accounts, 9,253 votes, 7,652 badges awarded, 115 tags, 10,071 post revisions and 149 links between posts. Every answer keeps the question it answers and every comment the post it was written on, so the threads can be rebuilt. The Internet Archive item describes the dump as anonymised; the votes table names the voter in only 12 rows.
