Fediverse Analytics: Statistics, Reach and Growth

You publish through several Fediverse accounts and want to know what people respond to. FediSuite gathers your posts and their responses, shows change over time and brings what you learn into the next publication.

FediSuite dashboard (German interface) with key figures for followers, posts, engagement and reach. Below are the top posts by reach and charts for follower growth and net reach.

Your posts as one connected history

A Mastodon conversation, a Pixelfed photo series and a PeerTube video receive different kinds of response. FediSuite queries your connected accounts through their APIs, imports available earlier posts in the background and refreshes the counters each platform provides.

See the development of your accounts in one place. Start with an individual post, then move to follower history, hashtags, posting times or an entire series. Existing posts are included when you connect, as far as the instance makes them available through its API.

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
The engagement tab (German interface) with charts for daily engagement, engagement rate and a breakdown by favourites, boosts and replies. Each chart has a description and an expandable data table.
Engagement over time and by interaction type

Put distribution and responses into context

For Mastodon and compatible platforms, FediSuite calculates estimated net reach and a potential gross distribution pool. The model uses your followers, known boosters and other interactions. You can inspect the calculation for each post, and the reach analysis page explains the method.

For PeerTube, examine likes and comments; Loops adds shares, while Misskey has reactions and renotes. Read the response to a post in terms that fit its platform rather than reducing every format to the same number.

Tips from your own data

FediSuite’s tips compare periods, show the numbers behind them and suggest a next test. Photos might work well on one account while longer text draws more replies on another. The hints draw on your own posts and appear in the composer while you write.

Bring the analysis back to the calendar

If you publish a recurring series, give its posts a private label. Compare their response with other posts from the same account. Find the strongest examples in the archive and carry an idea into a new draft.

The posting-time heatmap shows when each audience has responded in the past. Choose a date in the content calendar, then check whether the new approach landed differently after publication. FediSuite keeps those steps in one workspace.

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.

Frequently asked questions

What is Fediverse analytics?

It means analyzing accounts in the Fediverse: follower growth, interactions, reach and posting times. Because every instance only knows its own counters, you need a tool that collects the data and compares it over time and across accounts. FediSuite is such a tool.

Can you measure reach in the Fediverse?

Exact impressions do not exist across instance borders. FediSuite estimates reach from followers and boosters and labels it clearly as an estimate.

Which platforms does FediSuite analyze?

More than 20, including Mastodon, Pixelfed, Friendica, Misskey, Pleroma, Akkoma, GoToSocial, PeerTube, Loops and vutuv. Estimated reach covers Mastodon-compatible platforms; other metrics depend on the platform API.

Does FediSuite cost anything?

The official instance app.fedisuite.com is free according to the website. FediSuite is licensed under GPL-3.0 and can be self-hosted with Docker.

Are there trackers or ads?

FediSuite contains neither trackers nor ads. If you want full control over the data, run your own instance.
