Its time for yet another brief monthly overview of the local boards activity, but this time with a bit longer delay than usual. As always, all charts and table are made with the help of @DdmrDdmr

Communities marked with * (Pakistan and Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet but I hope that's something that will change in the near future because I do believe that they deserve it based on their numbers in the last few years. @theymos & @Cyrus, please take a look at their situation.
Post activity per local board during May 2023During above mentioned period 16641 posts were made which is a slight increase compared to may April 2023 during which 16496 posts were written acorss 18 local boards. Increase might be slight, but as lonmg as numbers are not going down, for me that is a positive thing.
Once again Russian board remained the most active one, followed by Turkish and German, as usual. No changes at the bottom part of the chart as well, with the standard boards occupying bottom 4-5 spots. Generally no local board experienced huge change compared to April (which is no surprise give very similar amout of posts written in April and May), with Indonesian board as only one who experienced decent increase (from 856 to 1103 or ~30%).
Local Board post raceThanks to @bitmover, here is the animated local board post race chart
Number of active members per local board during May 2023Despite the slight increase of the amoutn of posts written, during May there was a slight decrease in the number of active members; from 1322 during April to 1270 in May which makes it ~4% decrease. Once again Russian board had by far the most active amount of members, followed by Germans and Turks, with members from Indonesia slowly climbing up the ladder and I woulnd't be surprised if they reach Nigerians at thr 4th spot soon.
When it comes to amount of members (percentage wise of course relative to the total amount of members), who wrote 1 post during May, Romanian board is ahead of the others with 60% of such members, followed by Indian (55%) and Spanish (49%) local boards. At the same time, Indonesian has the lowest percentage of those members (17%), closely followed by Portuguese (18%) and Turkish (21%).
In the 2-9 posts bracket, Polish board is ahead of the others with 54% of those members, while Germans are 2nd with 48% and Bangladesh 3rd with 46%. On the other hand, Romanian board has the lowest percentage of such members (20%), followed by Arabic (212%) and Croatian (23%) local boards.
In the 10+ posts bracket, Portuguese board is the leader with 46% of those members, followed by Turkish and Indonesian at 44% of such members. Opposite to them are Polish local board with 15% of such members, followed by Greek (18%) and Romanian (20%) local boards.
Merit shared per local board during May 2023Despite the slight increase in the amount of posts, amount of merits shared went down by 8%, from 9025 in April down to 7306 in May. Its no surprise that due that majority of local boards have fewer merits shared, but one local board stands out that managed to have significant increase and that's Indonesian board that went from 903 merits in April to 1369 during May which makes it a ~50% increase. Kudos guys and hopefully you keep it up!
Merit senders and receivers per local board during May 2023As always, pretty straightforward chart that is sorted according to the amount of merits shared, and once again Nigerian and Pilipinas boards really stands out which shows that they have large amount of merit senders/receivers relative to the amount of merits shared which could then indicate that they could use more merit sources.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for May 2023Since amount of merits shared decreased and amount of posts slighly increased, its no surprise that merit/post ratio is slighly less than in previous month but even with that decrease i think that ratio is generally pretty high, with the expection of the few standard names (Nigerian, Pilipinas) that could definitely use more merit sources.
Merit per transaction across local boards in May 2023Due popular demand (read: fillippone
) I am including the "merit per transaction" chart to get a litle bit better idea what's going on in each local board merit wise and how members of each board share the merit. Its no surprise that local boards that historically have high merit/post ratio lead this chart as well, but there are few expections like Nigerian board that is relatively high on this chart while being having 2nd lowest merit/post ratio.
The most active members per local board during May 2023Last but not the least, list of the most active members of 18 local boards. Once again joker_josue from Portuguese is ahead of the othrs with 280 posts, followed by two members from Russian local board, Smartprofit (244 posts) and Ratimov (203 posts)
