Thanks for having broken down the dashboard into 3 (events, online and groups).
You have a graph for the āNumber of EA Forum posts with 2+ upvotes (per month)ā. I think it would be better to have graphs for the number of posts per month and their mean karma.
You have a graph for the āOverall EA Newsletter subscriber count (at the start of each month)ā. Have you considered having one for the number of subscribers of the EA Forum Digest?

Curious why ā what insights do you hope to gain from this /ā are there specific questions you have about the Forum that youāre hoping to answer with this data?

Thanks, weāve considered this but havenāt prioritized so far. Iād be interested to know if there was a particular reason you think this would be useful, or if itās more that generally having this sort of data available to people would be nice? (Both seem like reasonable motivations ofc!)
Karma could be relevant to the question of whether EA Forum content has been declining in quality (or not), and how this relates to quantity (number of posts). Besides the mean karma of the posts published in a given month, it would also be interesting to know the distribution (e.g. 10th and 90th percentile).
Subscribers to the EA Forum Digest would be relevant as a measure of the growth (or lack thereof) of EA Forum.
more that generally having this sort of data available to people would be nice
I had this in mind too. I do not know how much making the above available to the public would be useful, but in general lean towards thinking that more transparency is good. However, depending on how much effort is required to make that sort of data public, it might not be worth it.
