Scheduling and analytic tools for Mastodon
Mastodon doesn't offer post scheduling or analytics by default. It's probably a good thing, that users can't analyze the engagement of their followers by default, because we don't want everybody to constantly fight for the most boosts and followers. But for some users, especially companies and other groups it can be very useful to have such tools.
There are not a lot yet, but those that exist are summarized in this table:
