I do not think that you can track the performance of the LW community on this over time in this manner. You only had 5-ish commentors on the last post so the best you could do was tracking those people’s performance...but you can’t even really do that because you don’t have any quantifiable data from them.
If you try to track performance with the type and quantity of data you get from free-form comments you will be almost guaranteed to extract the conclusion you already believed and not learn anything new.
If you want more useful data, maybe try a prediction market? But even that is just going to get you a small number of participants that won’t tell you anything about the “LW community”.
