Fediverse Analytics: Statistics, Reach and Growth

Where Fediverse statistics come from

Each instance shows you a few counters on single posts, at best. If you run one account on mastodon.social, one on a Pixelfed instance and one on PeerTube, you end up counting by hand. A history over weeks does not exist anywhere.

FediSuite queries your accounts through their APIs, imports existing posts in the background and refreshes the counters regularly. Your analysis starts with your whole history instead of zero.

The statistics you get

The analysis covers the numbers that help you plan the next post:

• Follower growth over time, per account
• Favourites, boosts and replies per post, and the engagement derived from them
• Hashtag analysis with frequency, engagement and combinations that work
• Posts with and without media, with and without a link, by length
• The posts with the highest reach in the selected period

Estimating reach instead of inventing impressions

The Fediverse does not deliver impressions across instance borders. FediSuite estimates reach from what is visible: the followers of your account, the followers of accounts that boosted a post, and the visible boosts. The result is a net and a gross reach.

That is a model, not a measurement, and the method is documented openly. The reach estimate exists for Mastodon and compatible platforms. More on the reach analysis page.

Tips from your own data

The tips in FediSuite compare periods, show the numbers behind them and suggest a next test. They point out correlations in your account, not proof. Without enough data there is no tip.

Several accounts and platforms in one analysis

Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Misskey and its forks, Pleroma, Akkoma, GoToSocial, PeerTube, Loops, vutuv and more can be connected. Estimated reach is available for Mastodon and compatible platforms. Which interactions and growth figures are available depends on each platform and instance API.
