Couldn't agree more with this. This forum can be a confusing place for a newbie and local boards definitely help. I mean, I've been active on various forums for ~20 years, wasn't new in crypto and have no problem understanding English yet it was helpful to have group of people that speak my language in that first period when i was getting used to this forum. And now imagine how it is for someone who is new to crypto, has no previous experience on any other forum and struggles with English.
Without the local boards I am sure we would have a few less users.
The language barrier, coupled with the lack of knowledge of cryptos, can be very discouraging at the beginning.
An interesting fact is that if the user stays in the local board, in some time he will have the curiosity to know the other boards too and it can be a good reason to learn and practice English.
An obvious benefit of local boards is also the facts and news that only the residents of that region will be interested in and understand what they are posting.
Another thing that I notice, at least in the Portuguese local tab, is that some users post more in the global tab than in the local one. So some who occasionally post locally can be very active in the global tabs.
Therefore, all these graphics are not considered all these details, which we have to account for when analyzing them in more detail.
I've come across users on the global forum with a very common username in my language, but who I've never seen on the local board. And from the posts I could tell that they speak my language, but never post anything in the local board. It's not rare.
Thanks for the interesting work you do Rikafip.
I always follow the bitmover posts with the data, but I realized that I had never left a merit for you hehehe, I'll start following it here too.
