To avoid complaints (

) I've decided not to wait for the last day like last month so here it is, July's brief overview of the local boards activity. All charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr
Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja
Ninjastic.space so thanks guys for your awesome tools.
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Nigerian, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards, with a hope that will soon change.
Post activity per local board during July 2022Trend continues and July was less active than June, as expected. After all its summer and many people (myself included) have better things to do than spend much time on forum. During last month 14873 posts were written across all local boards which is a solid ( ~8%) decrease compared to June and 16241 posts. This decrease was relatively evenly shared among the majority of boards with only a few boards experiencing noticeable increase (Arabic, Pakistan).
Regarding the most active boards, no changes there; Russian board remains by far the most active one followed by Turkish, German, Portuguese and Indonesian and same thing can be said for the least active boards which are usually the same.
Number of active members per local board during July 2022Drop in post activity is naturally connected with drop in number of active members; during July there were 1188 members across local boards that wrote at least one post, which is a slight decrease compared to June and 1214 active members. Decrease seems insignificant at first but it all adds up during longer period of time and just a year ago that number was maybe even double.
Merit shared per local board during July 2022Unfortunately, seems like last month was just an exception as amount of merits shared during July dropped sharply compared to June, from 7408 to only 5164 which is a 30% decrease. Russian board remained the most merited with very similar amount of merits shared, while several boards had significant drop: Croatian (239-144), Indonesian (423-230), Arabic (432-231), Turkish ( 716-4920, Italian (873-573) and the most affected one, German board with a 70% decrease ( from 1791 during June to only 536 in July). Let's hope that changes next month, but since summer is still going on, I don't really expect a major increase.
Merit senders and receivers per local board for July 2022Just to note that this chart is sorted by the amount of merits shared per local board and order is the same. The only ones that are missing here are communities without local board (Pakistan, Bangladesh and Nigerian) since I don't have that info for them.
Merit/Post ratio per local board for July 2022And for the end of this series of charts, let's see the merit/post ratio one. Unlike majority of other months, blue color is not so dominant anymore as its been a year since theymos introduced new merit sources so this 12 months average is not as low as it was let's say 6 months ago. Add on that bad month when it comes to amount of merit shared and you get what we see here, but even with that I think that majority of active boards still have decent ratio, with Pilipinas board remaining seriously under merited and I am surprised that I didn't see any merit applications from their members.
The most active members per local board during June 2022Last but not the least, the most active members across 18 local boards (to be more precise 13 boards + 3 that are still waiting). @joker_josue regained his title of the most active member with 285 posts, leaving behind @Snork1979 at the 2nd and @mole0815 at the 3rd spot. Congrats ppl, keep it up!
