Here it is, another brief monthly obverview of the local boards activity and this time for September 2024. As usual, all charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr
Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja
Ninjastic.space.
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards as of yet, but I do hope that's something that will change in the near future, as it happened with Nigerian board.
Post activity per local board during September 2024During September, 13566 posts were made across 18 local boards that are part of this overview which is a slight increase compared to August (13150) which is kinda expected as summer is over and people are spending more time inside at the computer (at least I know I am).
Once again Russian board has been by far the most active one, despite the ban and need to use VPN in order to access bitcointalk, while Turkish board kept their 2nd spot, with Nigerian board climging up to the 3rd sport (up from 5th) while on the bottom we have the usual suspects; Polish, Indian and Greek local boards (Romanian board is usually there too, but this time they were more active).
Active members per local board during September 2024During last month, 1281 member wrote at least 1 post in one of the local boards which is a slight increase compared to August (1268). Small increase, but the important one. As always, Russian board has by far the most amount of active members, followed by Nigerian and Indonesian local boards, while on the other side, Greek and Polish were once again below 10 acive members, even with last month's increase.
Local board members per amount of posts during September 2024When it comes to the members who wrote only 1 post, French local board is way ahead the others with a very high 60%, followed by Russian (50%) and Portuguese (38%) local boards, while on the other hand Pakistan has the lowest percebtage of such members (8%), followed by Romanian (12%) and Bengali (17%) local boards.
In the 2-9 posts bracket leader is Croatian local board with 65% of such members, followed closely by Romanian (64%) and Nigerian (60%) local boards. At the bottom of this bracket there is Portuguese local boards with 14%, followed by Italian (27%) and Turkish (29%) local boards.
Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, leader is Pakistam wheere exactly half (50%) of the active members wrote 10+ posts, followed closely by Portuguese (48%) and Italian (47%) local boards. In the same bracket, Indian local has the lowest percebtage of such members (11%), followed by Russian (14%) and Croatian (15%) local boards.
Merit shared per local board during September 2024In the last month, 5794 merit was shared across 18 local boards, which is a slight decrease compared to month before (August, 6066).
Considering the small increase in the amount of posts, I expected more merit shared, but it didn't happen. Since decrease is not so big, not all local boards had the fewer merit sent, and some like Turkish and German even managed to increase it, while Russian board rewmained at the top despite the decrease and I don't see anyone threating them in the near future.
Merit/Post ratio per local board during September 2024Last month's merit/post average across local boards was 0.44 which is a decrease compared to August (0.5 merit/post) which makes sense as number of posts went up while at the same time fewer amount of merit was sent.
What didn't change though is the local board at the top; Arabic once again with the highest ratio, but this time Pakistan and Bengali climbing at the very high 2nd and 3rd sport and I don't remember seeing them so high in the past. Its fair to say though some of the usual names (Spanish, Romanian) at the top had a big decrease, which helped some other names climbing higher.
Percentage of merited posts across local boards during September 2024After several months of some of the local boards having very high percentage of merited posts, this time numbers are most realistic.
First time since |I make this chart Croatian is at the top, followed by Italian and Romanian local boards. There is a some change at the bottom as well as Pilipinas finally managed not to be among 2-3 local boards with lowest percentage and I hope they continue like that in the future as well.
Merit senders and receivers per local board during September 2024During September, 465 members sent merit while 540 received which is not a big change compared to previous month (422/544) and once again both Nigerian and Indonesian local boards have more of their members sending and sharing merit than Russian, while only having a bit more than one third of their merit. Its so too unusual though, as Pilipinas boards regularly has high numbers despite low amount of merit.
Merit per transaction across local boards during September 2024And in the end of this series of chart, merit per transaction one. Interesting here is that while French local board generally has a lower merit per post ratio, their merit per tx is consistently high, and also explains why they have the lowest percentage of merited posts last month.
The most active members per local board during September 2024Last but not the least, list lof top 10 active member per local board. Once again at at the top its one of the members from Russian board and this time its Bits.media, follwed by mandown from Turkish local board with 212 posts and another member from Russian local board, Nuburian with 209 posts. Its unusal to see joker_josue out of top 3, so let's see if he makes it back next month (even though he still wrote very respectable 200 posts).
