Time for yet another brief monthly overview of the local boards activity, this time a little bit later than usual as I was travelling and its pain in the ass to do these kind of things on laptop screen alone. All charts and table are made using data from @DdmrDdmr
Merit Dashboard and BitList.
Communities marked with * (Pakistan, Bengali) don't have their own local boards but are part of this overview nevertheless.
Post activity per local board during February 2026During February, 12919 posts were written across local boards that are part of the overview, which is a noticeable drop compared to January's 13925. Majority of that drop happened on the most active board, Nigerian, whose numbers went down from 4824 in January to 3924 in February. Despite the drop, they are still by far the most active board, followed by Russian and Turkish.
Active members per local board during February 2026During the above mentioned period, 1335 members wrote at least one post, which is an expected drop compared to January's 1392. Unsurprisingly, majority of the drop happened on the Nigerian board. It would be ineteresting to hear from someone from their local board (maybe from their local sheriff Igebotz?) what has happened there.
Local board members per amount of posts during February 2026 When it comes to the percentage of members who wrote only one post in their board during February, leader is Indian board with 50%, while at the same time Croatian local board had only 14% of such members.
At the 2-9 posts bracket leader is French board with 52%, while Turkish was at the bottom with 36%.
Regarding the 10+ posts bracket, the leader is Portuguese board with 50% of such members, while French is at the bottom with only 5% of the members that wrote 10+ posts during last month.
Merit shared per local board during February 2026During February, 7901 merit was shared across local boards which is a big drop compared to January during which 9717 merit was shared. This time noy only Nigerian board is responisble for such a big drop, but basically all the more active and merited boards as well. Despite the drop, I think those are still pretty good numbers.
Merit/Post ratio per local board during February 2026As it can be seen on the chart, despite the big drop of merit sent, merit per post ratio remained pretty high. Well, at least on the majorify of the boards, while some like Greek, Bengali, Pilipinas and French are still struggling.
Merit senders and receivers per local board during February 2026During the last month, 535 members sent while 615 members of local boards received merit, which is expectedly a drop compared to January (633 senders, 725 receivers)
Percentage of merited posts across local boards during February 2026Once again Romanian board remained at the top of this chart, but this time with more realistic (but still very high) 45% merited posts, while Indian and Italian were just behind them. At the same time we have Greek board which is on par with Off Topic and similar boards.
Merit per transaction across local boards during February 2026And the last in this series of charts, merit per transaction, that shows meriting habits of local boards.
The most active members per local board during February 2026Last but not the least in this monthly overview, the list of the most active members per local board. mandown from Turkish local has been the most active member with 132 posts, followed by two member from Russian local, Julien_Olynpic with 121 post and klarki with 119 post. GG guys!
