Scheduling and analytic tools for Mastodon: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:19, 14 February 2024

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.

Mastodon Analytic tools

So far there is Analytodon, Mastometrics and Mastotool.

Analytodon is a website that shows you a graph of your followers as well as likes, boosts and replies per day and your top toots (by score, replies, boosts or likes) (of the week/month/year, not of all time). It allows you to analyze up to 10 Mastodon accounts.

Mastometrics is another website showing graphs of followers, interactions and posts as well as a list of your latest or top toots of different time-frames including all-time.

Mastotool is a command line tool that shows you your total toots (excluding replies & boosts), toots per day, new followers/follows per day, likes/boosts/replies per toot, users you mentioned most, users you boosted the most, users that respond the most, most replied to/liked/boosted and highest scoring toots of all time as well as your hashtags that got the most boosts/likes.

Metricdon is a website with main focus on telling you which accounts you interact with have the most impact.

Toot scheduling tools

Buffer is a tool for post scheduling and analytics for some social media services. For Mastodon so far it only offers scheduling.

Fedica can for now only be used if you have a Twitter account.

Fedilab the Android app and Fediplan the scheduling tool by the same author are great for scheduling toots, because they have all the features you'll need except for a posting calendar.

Publer is a website for scheduling and analytics for many platforms including Mastodon.

Scheduler is a very simple tool with few features.

Seenly will soon support Mastodon (for scheduling and analytics).

Towncrier has few features for now.
