Does Stack Exchange collect, or can calculate, any metrics which would give an indication of which site an individual user is likely to both ask and answer questions?
I ask because in the brief time I've been perusing the various sites, it seems with a few notable exceptions (e.g. Puzzling) that there isn't much overlap between the askers and the answerers.
I've constructed a SEDE query which compares the top X askers (by # of questions asked) to the top X answerers (by # of answers posted). Running it with X = 100 declares Mi Yodeya as the winner with a 55% overlap, followed by three sites with 52%.
The query excludes child meta sites; those generally have a much larger overlap than main sites, as can be seen in a previous revision of the query.
The outcome will certainly depend on the value of X; if you increase it to 1000, Meta Stack Exchange leads the board with 59%.
