Its time for another monthly overview, this time a little bit sooner than the last month. Like in all previous overviews, all charts and tabled were made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space whihc I suggest to check if you want more in depth overview.
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards (yet).
Post activity per local board during May 2022Unfortunately we are continuing with the same trend; 17262 posts were written during May 2022 which is 6% decrease compared to month later. This is somewhat expected as summer coming so I guess people have better things to do than write on the forum.
Russian local board is by far the most active one while Turkish and German are holding their usual their usual 2nd and 3rd spots and its the same thing with 4th & 5th (Indonesian and Portuguese). Majority of active boards have somewhat similar numbers compared to previous one, except Pakistan that experienced huge decrease, going down from 863 posts written in April to only 315 during May. Dunno whayt happened there, maybe someone from their local can shed some light.
Number of active per local board during May 2022Even though numbers generally decreased, that didn't affect number of active users much as last month 1352 users wrote at least 1 post across all local boards which is very similar to April and 1372 active users. Keep in mind that this chart counts all users that wrote at least 1 post in that period so real number of active users is much lower than that. Its just that I haven't decided the threshold to determine that so for now I am keeping the minimum requirement
Merit shared per local board during May 2022As expected, decrease of post activity led to decrease of merit shared as well; from 5556 merits shared in April, local boards went down to 4809 merits shared in May, which is pretty noticeable 13% decrease. While majority of that decrease is simply due fewer posts being written, some local boards could definitely use few more merit sources. Hopefully theymos sorts that out soon.
Merit senders and receivers per local board for May 2022Self explanatory, everything is obvious here, with Indonesian board sticking out when it comes to amount of people that were part of merit system, despite the low amount of merit shared last month and similar thing can be said for Pilipinas and Turkish boards.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for May 2022And for the end of this series of charts, merit per post ratio. Standard names are at the top so no mjuch changes there, but it is noticeable that 12 month average is getting often higher than the last which hasn't been the case up until now and I expect that trend continues. As I mentioned before, I think that majority of local boards have enough merit to share, its just that members are not as active as they used to be. At least that's the case in my local board and its probably the same situation elsewhere.
The most active members per local board during May 2022Last but not the least, list of top 10 most active members per local boards. Even though I expected joker_josue (who was still great with 327 posts) to dominates this list again, this time Azrieli from Russian local board was the most active one with the impressive 359 posts written.
