It's Time to Unwrap 2023!

This past year was one of growth. There are so many different metrics to look at to determine the overall health of a community, including new posts, logins, views and even kudos. Did you know that about 52% of our userbase is in the United States? The next largest percentage comes from the UK -- with just shy of 14.5%. We have users participating from all over the globe, including India, Spain, Singapore, Poland, the Philippines and even several users scattered throughout the Caribbean Islands!

As of now, OneCommunity boasts 6,352 unique users in total. A closer look at our user demographics reveals that 45% are Partners and 39% are Customers. And we're still growing! Over the last 12 months, we saw around 200 new users monthly.

It was a busy year! There were nearly 6,000 posts made throughout the year. 95% of our activity was between our customer and partner base -- way to go for helping each other out!  On the topic of posts, are you wondering which posts were the most hoppin'? Read on!
