To show that last month was not a fluke, here is another monthly overview of the local boards that is released in the reasonable time frame. As always charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr
Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja
Ninjastic.space. Thanks guys for your awesome tools!
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards. Not yet at least.
Post activity per local board during March 2022After few months of decline, we finally have increase; during March 2022, 19044 posts were written across local boards which is 7% increase compared to February. I honestly expected for this decline to continue but I am glad that I was wrong. As always, Russian board is far ahead of the other and that number is even more impressive when you take into consideration that in order to access bitcointalk from Russia you have to use VPN. Rest of the top 5 consist of standard names: Turkish, German, Indonesian and Portuguese boards, while similar situation is at the bottom that is also occupied by usual suspects.
When it comes to biggest gainers, only 2 really stand out, and they don't even have their own local board, Pakistan and Nigerian. While in February Pakistan post count was already impressive 301 in March they had 696 that is 130% increase that puts them at very high 6th spot. Regarding Nigerian, their increase is impressive as well; from 191 in February to 348 in March so that makes it ~78% increase.
Number of posters per local board during March 2022Even though there was a decent increase in the amount of posts written, that was not followed by the increase of active members as during March 1359 users wrote at least 1 post, while February number was slightly higher, 1396 users. Given that fact, numbers are very similar to the previous period whihc is kinda expected anyway as new members don't easily come and disappear but rather people increase or decrease their activity.
Post/user ratio per local board for March 2022Due popular demand and suggestion, I am introducing new chart that shows post per user ratio across local boards. As expected, more active boards tend to have higher ratio as it makes it much easier to enter into discussions if you have more different users.
Merit shared per local board during March 2022The increase of number of posts was followed by merit increase; during March. 6981 merits were shared that makes it approximately 10% increase compared to February during which 6340 merits were shared across all local boards. When it comes to ranks, no surprises there: Russian is far ahead followed by Turkish, German and Italian. Top 8 is almost identical to February, with only Indonesian board dropping few spots down.
When it comes to biggest gainers, three boards that stand out are Pakistan and Italian. Italian board increased merit shared by ~36% (from 539 to 736) and that is a very good result for such a big board, while Pakistan board had the biggest increase, from 130 in February to 200 during March and all that while not even having their own local board. Worth mentioning are also French and Nigerian who also had decent increase but imho those numbers could be even higher.
Regarding decrease of the merit shared, the only local board that stands out is Indonesian that had 322 merits shared during March, which is almost 40% decrease compared to February and 536 merits shared.
Merit senders/receivers per local board for March 2022
As always, pretty straightforward chart. The only difference I may make in the future is to sort the boards by total amount of senders/receivers and not based on the amount shared like I was doing for now.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for March 2022More or less the same names are at the top, with Dutch board kinda screwing up the chart. Such a high merit/post ratio tends to happen with less active boards as its very easy to affect it by reltively small amount of merit shared. like it happened in March. That's why I introduced the 12 month average part so it gives a clearer picture of what's really going on in the local boards and to negate these amplitudes.
The most active members per local board during March 2022And for the end of this monthly overview, list of the most active members across all local boards and several that are yet to get that status.
