Communities marked with * (Pakistan and Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet but I do hope that will change soon as imho they definitely deserve it and forum can only benefit from it.
Post activity per local board during November 2023During November 2023 in the 18 local boards/threads 23958 posts were made, which is a solid 8% increase compared to month before (22105). As usual, Russian board remained the most active one, followed by Turkish at 2nd and Nigerian local board at the 3rd spot, with the latter coming closer and closer to the former so its just a matter of time when Nigerian board overtakes that 2nd spot that is usually held by the Turks.
At the bottom we see the usual names, with only the order changing. With that being said, its hard not to notice that Greek local board had 200% increase compared to the month before and I hope that wasn't just an exception and they continue with the similar or even better numbers in the upcoming months.

Active members per local board during November 2023Last month 1531 members wrote at least one post across local boards, which is a slight increase compared to October (1504). Once again Russian local board is at the top, followed by Indonesian and Nigerian local boards, who both have the all time high (well, at least the highest since I am making this chart).
Local board members per amount of posts during November 2023When it comes to the members who wrote only 1 post in the above mentioned period, Indian is the leader with 58%, followed by Spanish (43%) and Polish (39%) local boards. In the same bracket, Romanian has the lowest percentage of such members (13%), followed by Pakistan (15%) and Nigerian (19%) local boards.
In the 2-9 posts bracket, Romanian is the leader with 63%, followed by German (45%) and Bangladesh (41%) locals. At the same time, Indian has only 19% of such members, follwed by Greek (21%) and
Croatian (25%) local board.
When it comes to members who wrote 10+ posts, Pilipinas is the leader with 52% of such members, followed by Nigerian (49%) and Pakistan (46%) locals. When it comes to the lower percentage, Indian is is the leader with 22% and after them are Polish (23%) and Romanina & German both with 25%.
Merit shared per local board during November 2023Despite the increase of the amount of psots, number of merit shared dropped: from 10296 in October to 8328 in November 2023 which makes it almost 20 % decrease (its 19.1 %, to be precise) and I must say that I didn't expect it, especially since amount of posts increased.
Due such a big decrease, no wonder that almost all local boards have decreased numbers; some smaller like Italian and Turkish and some biogger like Russian and Indonesian local boards. Let's hope that was just a bad month and we see improvement in the next month's overview.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for November 2023Since amount of merit shared decreased by ~20% while at the same time post number went up 8%, no wonder that almost all local boards hgad a significant drop in the merit/post ratio, and what's even more obvious is the domination of red colour, meaning 12 months ratio is higher that last month's for almost all boards.
Italian local board is the leader with 0.74 ratio (probably lowest for the leader since I am making these overviews), followed by Indonesian (0.72) and Romanian (0.7) local boards.
Pilipinas is once again at the bottom with only 0.04 merit per post, which is comparable to the off-topic and similar spammy boards and I doubt that's the quality of discussions there. Can maybe someone from that local board shed some light and explain what's the situtaion there?
Merit senders and receivers per local board during November 2023During November, 537 members sent merit across 16 local boards while 591 received merit and its no surprise that its a decrease compared with month before (555/655). Just to note that Pakistan and Bangladesh are not included because Merit Dashboard only has that data for local board, which they are not unfortunately but I hope that's something that will change in the upcoming months so I can finally include them in this chart as well.
Percentage of merited posts across local boards during November 2023Compared to last month, there are some big changes on this chart; while Indian had 55% of posts merited, last month this percentage dropped to only 18%, with Romamanian board being the leader (36%) , Croatian local board at the 2nd spot with 30% merited posts and Italian at the 3rd place with almost 28% of merited posts. At the same time, Pilipinas is dead last with less than 3% of posts being merited which is not a surprise given their merit/post ratio.
Merit per transaction across local boards during November 2023Last in this series of charts, merit per transaction which can shed some light on meriting habits in local boards. Once again Pakistan and Bangladesh are missing from this chart for the same reason (and from the above chart too).
The most active members per local board during November 2023Last but not the least, list of all the top 10 most active members per local board. joker_josue from Portuguese local board has been once again the most active member across all local boards with 280 posts, followed by Smartprofit (259) and BVeyron (245) who are both members of Russian local boards. Good job guys, keep it up!
