As always, charts were made using data provided by @DdmrDdmr via his Merit Dashboard, which I suggest you should check if you want more in-depth look at the specific local board.
Communities that are marked with "*" are those without local board, but I think that they deserve mention, at least those most active ones that have some chances getting their own local board in the future.
Post activity per local board during May 2021
After few months of decline, this time local boards have a slight increased total number of posts, from 23391 to 24300, but it is increase nevertheless. No change at the top, Turkish board was the most active one like in previous months, followed by the Russian (which again had high amount of deleted/removed post that affected their total number significantly) and German boards.
It's nice to see that Portuguese board is increasing activity month after month, and same can be said about two communities without local board, Nigerian and especially Pakistan that are having very solid numbers as well, given the difficulty of writing everything in the same thread. Might be the time for forum staff to consider adding few more local boards and help those communities to further develop.
Merit shared per local board during May 2021
Despite the increase in posting activity, total amount of merits shared on local boards went down, from 4303 during April to 3929 in May, which is ~9% decrease. Majority of boards had more or less similar numbers like in April, with Russian board at the top like in previous months, while German board had pretty significant decrease for such a big board. Something weird is happening with Pilipinas board too, as they had only 20 merits shared, which is very low for their post amount.
Among boards that increased amount of merits shared, Nigerian board sticks out. While in April they shared only 2 merits, last month it went up to 69 merits.
Merit senders/receivers per local board during May 2021
Another self explanatory chart, just to show amount of members that are part of the each board's merit activity. Naturally, more merit usually means more members involved, but there are are always few boards that have very big "merit network", relative to the amount of merit that they shared.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for May 2021
Last but not the least in this series of charts, merit/post ratio chart. Usual names are at the top, and same can be same about the bottom. Maybe its time for some boards to get more merit sources.
