Discourse
The forum’s membership count increased by 49 during the first six months of 2023. Furthermore, there has been a slight upward trend in the message count since December last year. While the engagement is lower than in the first half of 2022, the forum remains a relevant platform for discussion and exchanging ideas. The average number of pageviews during the first half of 2023 equals approximately 13,900, a decrease of about 4.8% compared to the second half of 2022. None of the statistics include forum crawlers.
Discord
There has been a consistent increase in Discord membership. Despite the decline in message activity since March, the overall message count is still slightly higher compared to Q1. General continues to be the most active channel, followed by #dev-support and qrng.
Telegram
The steady decrease in the number of members on Telegram may be attributed to our emphasis on Discord as the primary platform for developer support and community engagement. Furthermore, there has been a downtrend in message count since March throughout most of Q2, with a reversal to the upside in June. This upward trend may be short-lived, as the increase in message activity is primarily attributed to a public debate that happened that month.
The growth in the number of Twitter followers has continued to increase, with the count reaching approximately 48,300 by the end of Q2 2023. During this period, the engagement rate averaged 4.10%, which is slightly higher than the overall mean of 3.92% for 2022 and the average of 3.67% recorded during Q1 of 2023. The engagement rate of 5.4% in May is the highest since August 2022, but the level of engagement was not sustained in the following month.
Although there has been a slight rise in the number of subscribers on Reddit for the past twelve months, it is noteworthy that the total pageviews have been strongly declining for almost the entire period.

Furthermore, impressions have declined by more than 50%, but the click-through rate has increased by more than double. This may indicate that although the content is displayed to a smaller audience, it resonates better with the audience.
