Last few months I published the overview earlier in the month, but due some circumstances this month's is out a little bit later than I wanted to be. Hopefully next one will be much sonner. Anyway, all charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr Merit Dashboard and @TryNinja Ninjastic.space while images are uploaded via TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk made by @joker_josue.
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bangladesh) don't have their own local boards yet.
Post activity per local board during January 2025During January 2025, 14199 posts were written across local boards that are part of this overview, which is a very small increase compared to month before (13997). Due similar overall numbers, majority of the local boards had more or less the same activity (with tendency of increase), with only Russian board having more noticeable drop but even despite that they remained easily yhe most active board.
Its good to see that Nigerian board is having a comeback as they were having the best month in a while.
Active members per local board during January 2025In the above mentioned period 1419 forum members wrote at least 1 post in one of the local board which is a slight increase compared to December numbers (1395) and is consistent with post increase.
Once again Russian is dominant in this chart, followed by Nigerian and German local boards. Italian board is also worth mentioning as they had a huge increase in the amount of active members from 69 in December to 93 in January and such a big increase doesn't happen often.
Local board members per amount of posts during January 2025When it comes to the percentage of members who wrote only 1 post in their board during January, Spanish local board is the leader with 48% of such members while in the same bracket Pakistan had only 12 of those members.
In the 2-9 posts bracke leader is Greek board with 55% while Polish had the lowest percentage of such members, only 20%.
Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, Croatian local board is leader where exactly half (50%) od all active members wrote 10+ posts, while Greek board had no members who wrote that amount of posts.
Merit shared per local board during January 2025During January, 8416 merit was shared across local board which is a decent increase compared to December numbers (8088) which is a definitely a good news after months of decrease.
This month we also have surprise-Nigerian board is at the top with 2108 merit which is (afaik) their record. German dropped to 2nd place (after being a leader the last month) with also very good numbers, while Russian dropped to (for them unusually very low) 3rd place.
Merit/Post ratio per local board during January 2025Combination of solid increase of merit shared and a slight increase of post number resulted in a pretty high 0.59 merit per post shared across 18 local boards that are part of this overview.
This time we have an expected leader, Bengali board with a very high 1.45 merit per post ratio, followed by Romanian and Nigerian locals, while we see usual names at the bottom, but unless thyemos gives them more merit sources, all they can do is to submit their post in one of merit giveaway threads.
Merit senders and receivers per local board during January 2025During January, 497 members merited posts in local boards while 650 received which is an increase compared to December (467 senders and 578 receivers). This increase is expected as amount of shared merit during January went up by ~4%.
Percentage of merited posts across local boards during January 2025
As usual, Romanian board is again at the top with staggering 69% of merited posts, which is high even when you take into account that they only wrote 52 posts. Far away are Spanish and German locals with ~30%, while at the bottom Greek board had only 5% of merited posts.
Merit per transaction across local boards during January 2025Another chart that is affected by the Greeks - someone there sent 4 merits to one post which resulted in this high merit per transaction ratio.
The most active members per local board during JanuaryLast but not the least, the list of top 10 most active members per local board. After few months of "slacking", joker_josue from portuguese board is again at the top with 211 posts written in January, followed by two members from Russian board, bits.media who wrote 202 posts and jokers10 with 168 posts.
