Scheduling and analytic tools for Mastodon: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:23, 4 February 2023

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 and Mastotool.

Analytodon is a website that shows you a graph of your followers (from the time you started using the service) 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).

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.

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.

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.

Scheduler is a very simple tool with few features.

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

Towncrier has few features for now.

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