It has been a few months since I last made some statistics for xsns discord servers ann channel. Since the 6th of April 2019 there have been 35 anns with 11512 reactions (total includes one person clicking multiple reactions), which makes for ~328,9 reactions per ann, which is an improvement over the last controlled period (192 anns 46867 reactions ~241,6 reactions per ann). The most probable reason for that is that the amount of anns has decreased, but the informational character improved. There were only 2 anns with less than 100 reactions (MN/TPoS Sync Issues 2019-04-20 and a mandatory corewallet update 2019-06-26), but also only one with more than 500 (Roadmap Update from 2019-05-08). Compared to the former period, in which the highest number of anns (24) had less than 50 reactions, this is quite an improvement.
All in all there has been one ann with 0-49 reactions, one with 50-99, one with 100-149, 4 with 150-199, 5 with 200-249, 4 with 250-299, 6 with 300-349, 3 with 350-399; 7 with 400-449, 4 with 450-499 and one with 500-549.
For 2019 (from 2019-04-06 onwards) the most liked anns (total reactions, single most clicked reaction in brackets) were:
2019-05-08 Roadmap Update 504(62)
2019-07-12 Roadmap Update 493(58)
2019-09-03 Weekly Update & Mn Vote 488(40)
2019-07-03 Ledger/Trezor Dev Milestone 479(41)
2019-11-01 New Era/New Logo 441(77)
and with single most clicked reactions(total in brackets):
2019-11-01 New Era/New Logo 77 (441)
2019-05-08 Roadmap Update 62 (504)
2019-07-12 Roadmap Update 58 (493)
2019-06-12 Roadmap Update 56 (332)
2019-06-28 New Whitepaper 53 (420)
putting that data together with the data until 2019-04-05 you will see, that those 32 anns (compared to 30 from 2019-04-05 until 2019-12-31) would take all top 5 positions in total reactions. With single reactions New Era/New Logo would take the top place together with the ABCC-ann, but else the first quarter gets all places. The most liked Ann on discord up until now still is the Frank Amato Advisor (2018-06-04) one with 800 total and 93 single reactions.
There are a little less interactions over time, which makes sense alongside the maturing of the project, but the moment more people (not testchannel participants, insiders) think something bigger is going on (as shown with Amato, Litecoin Foundation Cooperation or New Era/New Logo) the numbers go up again, so it seems that the community is not changing too much in size, but is less motivated in interacting with updates, which don‘t let the mind fly.
Pretty cool that you actually took the time to do this, pretty interesting! Pretty clear that the community is pretty strong in this project. Guess I need to research some more, since I really find the project interesting!
