Time for yet another brief monthly overview of the local board activity, and yet again I am late so apologies for that. All charts and tables are made with he help of two excellent tools: @DdmrDdmr
Merit Dashboardand @TryNinja
Ninjastic.spaceCommunities that are marked with * don't have their own local boards. At least not yet, but hopefully that will change.
Post activity per local board during October 2021With 20942 posts being written during October, local boards remained similar activity compared to September and 21454 posts being written, which is barely noticeable change.
When it comes to the most active boards, no change at the top; Russian board is far ahead the others with 7262 posts, followed by Turkish and German boards. Standarsd names are at the bottom too, which are usually reserved for Greek and Dutch boards.
For quite some time Turkish board has numbers very similar to Russian, but in the last month they had huge decrease of post activity, going down from 6099 in September to 3541 posts written in October, which is ~40% decrease. Amplitudes of that magnitude happen often on the smaller board, but very rarely on such a big board as theirs.
Merit shared per local board during October 2021During October, 9332 merits were shared across 20 local boards ( to be more precise, 17 local boards+3 communities without) which is pretty decent increase (approximately 16%) compared to September and 6956 merits.
Like with the post activity, no changes at the top here either; Russian is far ahead, followed by German, Turkish and Italian boards.
Big (pleasant) surprise this month is German board with 1826 merits shared that makes it an incredible ~220% increase compared to September and only 571 merits shared. I have no idea what happened there, but it's nice to see German board recovering like that as they had negative trend for a long time. As a matter of fact, this is their by far the best result, as the closest one to October was December 2019 with 1373 merits shared.
When it comes to merit increase, it is also worth to mention Italian board that had almost 40% increase compared to September, making October their personal best month, merit-wise. Big surprise here is Pakistan community as well, with 60% increase compared to September and their 132 merits shared is an excellent number, considering that they don't even have their own local board.
Merit senders and receivers per local board during October 2021Pretty straightforward chart that follows (more or less) the amount of merit shared, which makes sense.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for October 2021It's nice to see this chart yet again being dominated by blue colour, meaning number of merits shared are increasing and all those recently added merit sources are doing their job properly. Out of all local boards, only Dutch had lower monthly merit/post ratio shared compared to 12 months period, which is a very good result, probably the best so far.
The most active members per local board during October 2021For the end of this overview, list of the top 10 most active members in each local board (and several communities without one).
